| To BY [crossed out] From EH. c. to RN.{Mr Robinson} X.3518 EH3/LG19.9.19. 19th. Sept. 1919. RE SPECIAL FERODO MATERIAL FOR 40/50 REAR BRAKE. We have not yet fitted this material to a car; at the first opportunity we will do so. The present material on the foot brake is giving every satisfaction. We have never heard of any complaints as regards wear on the material so we do not consider it is necessary to rush into changing until we have tested the new material for at least 10,000 miles.
