| V719. Expl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/CWH.9/MJ. 23rd. September 1931. Messrs. Ferodo Limited, Sovereign Mills, Chapel-en-le-Frith. Dear Sirs, With reference to your letter dated 18th. September ref: LAP/MD. We have tried the special brake linings with which you supplied us, but have not had much success with them in eliminating brake squeaks. As we have now been able to overcome the complaint of brake squeaks mechanically, we shall not be carrying out any further experiments with brake liners. Thanking you for the assistance you have given us. Yours faithfully, For Rolls-Royce Ltd. | ||
