| X1180 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.10/KW. 3rd March, 1936. Messrs. Ferodo Limited, Chapel-en-le-Frith. For the attention of Mr. Longley. Dear Sirs, We should be glad to know whether you can recommend S.5805 material as an alternative to RAD-11 for clutch linings. We are anxious to reduce the wear of the metal surfaces without sacrificing any of the friction characteristics of the facings. Failing this, can you recommend any other material which will give better wear than RAD-11 ? Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
