| VERY URGENT. ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} c. BY/TWD{T. W. D???Aeith} c. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X719 BY1/G.13.5.29. J.2 SERIES - BRAKE LININGS. The Experimental Department are doubtful as to whether they will be able to use standard bonded Ferodo for the brake shoes. They are asking us to keep down our supplies to the lowest possible amount, and I would therefore suggest that we limit them at the moment to 50 sets. At the same time it is desirable in order to prevent a hold up to order 50 sets of 'Ferbestos D'. This applies to both front and rear brakes. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} BY [Stamp: RECEIVED] | ||
