Dear Sirs, We are despatching to you today two samples of BZ brake lining and would be obliged if you could examine them and let us know whether these have been over heated. As we intend running combinations of two different types of lining we would be interested to have comparisons in the wearing qualities of flexible RL and RU in respect to BZ material. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
