Quarterly Complaints
--------------------

With reference to Quarterly Complaints, Quarter ending 30th September 1931, Page 1. Item BRAKES SQUEAK, we have included in this total - REAR BRAKES SQUEAK AND GROAN.

In the majority of cases this is overcome by roughing up liners and paying particular attention to bedding.
