To GWH {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
re Brake Linings.
Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 23/E16.2.38
Referring to Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 4/E11.2.38 I discussed this at Derby and apparently there have been some disappointments with the BZ material and the Experimental Department are now experimenting with another one called MR.3, so that at ix this juncture it would be inadvisable to scrap MR.
