Re TYRES.

-------

You were going to try out these
new type of tyres. Will you please let me know if they were
found to be satisfactory.

Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has been running them for
something over 3,000 miles and finds them quite all right,
and I understand from Dunlops that their technical people have
been in touch with you and that you are satisfied and they are
therefore getting on with the manufacture of them.

I should like you to confirm this.
