Our Managing Director (Sir George Beharrell) is much interested in this matter and has expressed a desire to examine the proposed tyres personally. He will not be available for this purpose until next Monday, so I do not think we shall be able to let you have the tyres referred to until Tuesday next. I hope you will not mind. Yours faithfully, W.Bards Development Manager. | ||
