Aluminium Brake Drums and Anti-Jagger Brake
Linkage Arrangement - 4 1/2 litre Bentley.

We understand that the detailing of the rear drums is complete, and the front drums and mechanism will be completed by Tuesday night next.

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has asked us to put a set of drums through as quickly as possible for Raymond Mays' car, and we also want a set for E.R. Hall's car for Le Mans. We should be very glad if you could urge these pieces as far as possible.
