| X3409. To ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/LG21.4.27. TENOID BRAKE LININGS. We wish to test some more Tenoid brake linings on 40/50 HP. and 20 HP. cars. Unfortunately there was no distinguishing mark on the two sets previously supplied to us, possibly they were both type 'F'. However neither of them squeak and both appear to be wearing fairly satisfactorily. Will you therefore please obtain from Messrs. Morgan Crossley 2 more complete sets for the 40/50 similar to those already supplied, and 4 complete sets for the 20 HP. to drg. G.51786. We should like to point out that the drilling on the previous linings did not correspond to the drawing. Apparently the shee was drilled while it was flat and was then bent. Will you please ask them to mark the shoes clearly if they supply us with 2 separate KEKX types. We should also like 2 sets of linings to G.52251 and G.4574 so that we can also test these linings on the rear of the car. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
