Motor Brake Linings. We thank you for your letter of the 3rd inst., and we think the method of approach to the problem as out-lined in your letter, an ideal one. We note that when your rig is working, you will send us as much accurate information as possible regarding different general types of lining. This will be of considerable assistance, as we should no doubt be familiar with their specifications and should probably be manufacturing similar types, but your information will enable us to manufacture special types to submit to you. Yours faithfully, HUBERT H.P. TRIST & CO., Draper | ||
