Owing to various people like Sr, Mays, and Staniland all wanting more front braking, the front drums they have are not good enough. Will you please make 8 sets of castings to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}336. All these drums will want Milenite liners but we will try to use over again the hubs we have now.
