Re. Ferodo Type Brakes.

EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}4/W181214.

In a memo I have received from
Mr. Johnson, re. the above, the following note
has been added by Mr. Royce, and I thought
it should be brought to your attention.

"It sounds beyond belief that after
all this time we are still not fitting
these brakes. If we can make on, then
we can make many with a little extra
expense, but this is now too late.
I consider this has hung fire far too
much by various and several people,
since the first agreement to the
suggestion. I would like Mr. Wormald
and Mr. Nadin to realise and look into
it that it should not occur in the next
similar case."
