Brake Linings. We do not feel that we are justified in ordering any more Tenoid material until we have definate statistics of the cars which passed through the Repair Dept's hands fitted with this material. It will probably be some little time before this information comes to hand. In the meantime we think it will be very foolish to change from material which has previously given satisfaction. .
