We thank you for your letter of the 24th and we note the problem which you have been good enough to place before us. We manufacture a wide range of brake linings for special purposes, which do not go into general production, and it would be a pleasure to us to collaborate with you with a view to supplying you with a brake lining meeting your requirements. If you would be good enough to send us prints of the brake lining, we would be very pleased to give the matter close consideration, and submit you sets for test. Yours faithfully, HUBERT H.P.
