TENOID BRAKE LININGS. -------------------- Neither of the two types of lining which were submitted by Messrs. Morgan Crossley were squeak-proof. We are not therefore meditating adopting them in the immediate future. If they will supply us with the best lining which they know of at the moment, we will run it on our next 10,000 miles test on a 40/50 HP. car. We have asked BY/SS.{S. Smith} to supply you with drgs. We require twd{T. W. D???Aeith} complete sets - front and rear 40/50 latest axle. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} 88288 | ||
