Dear Mr. Robotham,

I have sent you under separate cover, the sample wedge brake set-up which you left behind.

We have some wedge angles which we think are an improvement on this model because they give a greater range in leverage obtained and positively prevent the possibility of rollers getting out of position under all circumstances.

Yours sincerely,

M C Wilks
