SERVO BRAKES. X 9940. X. 3409.
X9910

We are sending to you 2 sets of liners removed from the servo brakes on cars which we have been testing. One set is off a car which the servo has not been overheated - the other set is off a car which has run for a short period with the power on. It is interesting to note the difference in wear between the wrapping and non-wrapping shoes.

Will DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} please arrange to send these liners to R.{Sir Henry Royce} after he has examined them.

Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
