PN. {Mr Northey} 4/WT22.4.29.
S/W. {Sales / Derby Works}
Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ...from PN. {Mr Northey}
Copy to H. {Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints}

In my PN {Mr Northey} 3/WT19.4.27 please note that the word "deterioration" - 5th line from the end was written in error for "Deformation".

I intended also referring to the tendency for brakes to squeak with this modified arrangement. Have you reason to believe that the side-by-side brakes produce a greater tendency to squeak than in the case of brake-drums being concentric.

PN. {Mr Northey}
