| Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} to Mer. CPL/M17715. Re Ferodo Lined Brakes with Air Cooled Drums. Mr. Johnson instructs that any customer desiring to have fitted to his car the new air cooled drums and Ferodo lined brakes, provided the car is already fitted with the double rear brakes, may have this alteration carried out at a cost of £20. It must be explained to customers enquiring for same that this improvement is one that is only fitted on more recent cars and we only fit such improvement at customer's expense. There may be cases where, as a matter of policy, we must fit same for £10, or for nothing. This, therefore, cancels any previous instructions you may have had on the subject of this changeover.
