Replying to your memo Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}13/R.8.11.34, we find that By's department have just completed a scheme and issued details on the 5th inst. for anti-squeak shoes on the rear of 20/25 HP. cars. We should therefore like to urge this experiment through, and find out what benefit it has in curing squeaks on the rear brakes. The Wraith will be equipped with these shoes.
