With further reference to former correspondence and discussion with BJ. the other day, we understand that the 20 HP. sample set is leaving in a fortnight's time and will be tested in France - and the 40/50 HP. set which has not yet been delivered from Dunlop's, will be tested in England. BJ. agrees that in order to save time, you might tell Dunlop's to get on with, say, 12 sets of each of the 25 sets it is proposed to order - and presumes arrangements can be made on these lines without increasing the cost, so long as Dunlop's know that the orders for the others will follow as soon as the tests are completed. Will you please let us know what you are able to arrange. We were very sorry to hear that Dunlop's had not delivered the sample set of 40/50 HP. as they appear to be very much overdue and we presume you are doing everything possible to bring pressure to bear on them.
