| 1181 January 31st.1938 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}4/AP. Messrs. Gandy's Brake Linings, Seacombe, Wallasey, CHESHIRE. For the attention of Mr.Ikin. Dear Sirs, We have tested the combination of '400.M.' and 'B' on our rig and it has not emitted any noise. It is therefore worthwhile trying this combination on a car. We have a car still fitted with 400.GM. which is squeaking and which will have to be altered: since 400 GM. is no different in performance to 400.M. we could strip half the shoes and fit 'd'. We are accordingly sending an order for 4 pieces of 4 sizes (GB.750, 751, 752, 754) this being double the quantity we require. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
