Before finally cutting we wish, however, to submit to you for your approval this slightly modified Tyre. It is our intention to cut the moulds with these irregular spaced buttons which you seem to prefer, conforming exactly to the Tyre which you have already tested, but to give effect to these slight modifications of centre and shoulder ribs and angle of grooves which are incorporated in the particular Tyres which we sent to you for your attention by passenger train yesterday.
