Dear Sirs, For the attention of W.Bond Esq., With reference to your letter of the 4th.inst. re Tyres for our 40/50 HP. car. You are quite correct in assuming that we wish to compare : Super tyres. Fort silent tyres - and Standard silent tyres. As we are about to start our tests we should be obliged if you will let us know what tyres we shall be able to take over on the car with us and when the others will be despatched. If possible, we should have liked to have taken the car with fitted with a set of super tyres - the two Fort silent tyres could then follow. Yours faithfully, | ||
