Rolls Royce Ltd., Experimental Department, Derby. For the attention of Mr. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} B. Dixon. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 3rd inst. and are returning the two brake shoes which you brought over on your last visit. With regard to the two which you sent for examination some time ago, at the moment we are unable to trace these, and should be much obliged if you could give us a little further information as to the approx. date they were delivered here. Mr. Martindale sent us two worn BZ linings, without shoes, and is it possible these may be the ones in question? Yours faithfully, FERODO LIMITED Mongley Director. File JBD.{John B.
