necessary, as you have educated your customers to expect exceedingly light pedal travel.

I look forward with a considerable amount of interest to the result of your tests of this braking installation, as undoubtedly your braking standard is considerably higher than that of any other car manufacturer and your criticisms will be welcomed.

Yours sincerely,
