Dear Mr. Robotham, In reply to your letter of 19th September, we would suggest that if convenient to you, Lord Rothes and myself could come to Derby on the 18th October with a view to witnessing tests on the "Colonial" tyre. We think that your suggestion is a good one regarding new tyres and we will arrange to supply four new ones for test. Mr. W.C. Thorne, one of our Directors, very probably would like to come to Derby to witness the test and I trust that this will be satisfactory. Would you be good enough to let me know if the date is convenient. Yours faithfully, INDIA TYRE & RUBBER COMPANY LIMITED. Paul Worth. Works Manager. | ||
