Huckerby}8.3.38. WRAITH BRAKE LINING - THERMOID. Will you please note that this material is being obtained from U.S.A. undrilled and in larger size than is required for a definite reason; we intend to get rid of the tipping shoes, on the rear brakes at least, after 100 chassis have been built. We have on order 350 sets of Thermoid. This note is to request you not to drill or cut up any more lining than you need for the 100 chassis. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F.
