To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} XWB Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}14/KW.20.1.36. 1-B-IV Rear Brakes. When we have a pair of rear aluminium drums ready, and we have finished testing them on our rig, they are to be put on 1-B-IV. For this purpose we shall need Ferodo S.5805, which we hand you herewith, and the aluminium shoes already on the car. Will you carry out the re-lining as soon as possible, as while we are waiting for the aluminium drums we would like to see how S.5805 works against standard drums.
