Hancock - Head Chateauroux}5/MA.19. 3. 32. Re. 25HP. RADIATOR MOUNTING BEARING LININGS. We have tested the Die pressed Bearing linings E.56763/4 made by Mr. Brock using-Flaked Fabric Moulding Material. The material shows no signs of-cracking and wear has been practically nill. These linings replace the Ferobestos Die pressed, made by Ferodo Ltd. The cost of the Flaked Material Mr.Brock informs me would be approx 50% less than present charges.
