| To Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} X3409 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}3/LG11.5.27. On continuing our tests on Tenoid Brake Linings, we find that type 'T' is quite unsuitable because the car upon which this was fitted started to squeak badly. We therefore do not require the pieces which we have ordered of this material. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
