HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG8.9.27.

We notice that the Raybestos Co, Asbestos House, Southwark St.{Capt. P. R. Strong}, London S.E.1 are advertising that there is no shuddering and grabbing with their clutch linings.

We should be interested to know whether they have altered their material since the tests were made with it some time ago. On that occasion we did not find it free from brake grabbing and chattering.
