| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} SQUEAKING BRAKES. The attached memo from Martindale covers the work that we have been doing on brake squeaks recently, and I agree with his theory as to why we seem to be worse for brake squeaks than other people. We accept the fact that we have got to do better on this problem, and are trying to get some linings from America. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
