Automotive Products Co., Ltd., Tachbrook Road, LEAMINGTON SPA, Warwickshire. For the attention of Mr. F.G. Farrell. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of February 19th last. In accordance with this we have added a pull-off spring to the brake pedal and this is shown on PL.510, a print of which is attached for your information. We are also enclosing with this letter prints of the detail drawings of the parts of the "Myth" brakes required by yourselves for making up sample sets for test. A list of the drawings enclosed is given below and you will note that we are including prints of the brake drums, although we arranged to supply these ourselves. We will endeavour to let you have these drums as soon as possible. We are interested to hear that you have a set of 9" brakes as proposed for "Myth" fitted up on a car and will be glad to have an opportunity of trying these and also of discussing any points arising from the schemes sent you. We should be glad, however, if this could be deferred for some little while owing to pressure of other work at the moment.
