BRAKE DRUMS We think it is very probable that in the near future we shall wish to use Lake & Elliott cast iron brake drums. We do not know whether these people have a patent on the material or whether we could make arrangements with them to cast the drums in our own foundry, or Hl. may be able to tell us how to produce similar brake drums. We think that some-one should be looking into this job. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
