We thank you for your letter of the 18th inst. and, in reply, we shall be very pleased to supply a set of Everlastic Tubes suitable for your purpose. We presume that the size which you have in mind is the 33 x 6.75 Low Pressure, fitting a 5" x 21" rim, and shall be glad if you will confirm that this is the case, and also whether well-base type rims are used. We presume that you would not wish us to work exactly to the weight of 16 lbs., mentioned, as we should prefer to supply our standard Everlastic Tube section, if agreeable to your goodselves, as we consider this would be most satisfactory. We will deal with the matter immediately on receipt of your reply. Yours faithfully, BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} HELENS CABLE AND RUBBER CO. LTD. T. H.{Arthur M.
