| X3409. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}13/KT. May 3rd 1933. Brake Linings Limited, Buxton, Derbyshire. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 19th April, ref. AB/DN. Our tests on the Duron brake lining were not sufficiently extensive to enable us to submit a report. We find that it is impossible for us to test out all proprietary brands of brake linings, oils, sparking plugs, carburetters, etc. etc., and you will therefore appreciate that until our braking system becomes less satisfactory than other features of the car, we shall not be carrying out extensive tests. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
