Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} c to D/BP. Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}/SB{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister}8/HR.21.8.37. 561 re MR. JULES JADOT'S 20/25 HP. CAR. File With reference to your Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM{Anthony F. Martindale}16/AP. 19.8.37., the only car which we can trace as being owned by the above is GAE-79, the guarantee of which expires in four months' time. If this is the correct chassis number then the liners you have quoted will not fit this car as the rear brakes are not of the pivoted shoe type. Secondly, the Owner must have had considerable use out of the brakes, in which case he is hardly entitled to a free of charge re-line. Perhaps you will let us have your further remarks.
