| x3409 To Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}11/KW.23.11.34. Servo Linings. We have recently been supplied by the manufacturers with servo linings that give higher output and more constant output with temperature variations. Our only concern at the moment is whether these linings are going to squeak, which point we cannot find out on our rig. We are sending you a pair of the latest type linings, and wonder whether you could get them fitted to your car in London and let us know your views on the efficiency of the brakes and the presence of squeaks, if any.
