FERODO BRAKE SHOE LININGS. 40/50-HP & 20-HP CHASSIS. ------------------- With reference to our conversation regarding the fitting of Improved Quality Ferodo Brake Shoe Liners, kindly note, during the past twelve months we have supplied to Depots and for use in our Repair Dept. approximately 8,000 brake shoe liners for rear axles G.4574 (i.e., 700-40/50-HP Chassis) and on the 14th inst. we received instructions to order a further four thousand, 2,000 of which we placed on order with Ferodo Ld., holding the remaining 2,000 in abeyance until you have had time to consider the advisability of fitting the improved quality liners.
