V.W. Pilkington, Esq.      -2-      18.7.38.

We have particulars of a two-leading shoe brake which we think is very much better than the one you were trying when we were last at Leyland, and should you be interested, could put you in touch with the Patentees. We are, ourselves, manufacturing some of these brakes for test, and possibly you would like to wait until we have them running before you go further with the project.

Yours sincerely,
