| EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} 506 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM{Anthony F. Martindale}3/R.26.5.37. BRAKE SQUEAKS 25/30. We believe you are running 21.G.IV. as a service car. As we are very troubled with squeaks we are trying to get as much information as possible about Ferodo ML which appears to be better in this respect, and we would like to have some fitted to 21.G.IV, and to have your report on same in due course. If you agree to this we will send the M.L. to the Repair Dept., where we understand 21.G.IV. is serviced. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
