Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}13/KT. 16.6.33. BENTLEY BRAKE LINING. We anticipate that we shall want to use AMR.2. brake lining instead of Ferodo Bonded Asbestos on the Bentley. Enough should be ordered to equip the fifteen cars now being built and sufficient to keep the works going from hand to mouth. We think this is definitely a case where it is not necessary to order a large quantity until our final car has gone over to France. It should be there in less than three weeks.
