creates sparks, smokes, burns, and is thus a constant danger for everybody. Wood wears quickly and you
WUUU cannot depend on its brake power, because oil, water, grease, or any other liquid affects its co-efficient of
friction noticeably. In most cases you have to use reverse steam.

METHS creates sparks and gives a very spasmodic brake action. Spoils your brake path and gives an unreliable
IVIE I Ala brake-power.

QBBSEH

fabric is absolutely spark-proof, it doubles your brake-power, no need to use
reverse steam. It lasts many times longer than wood or metal. Ferodo fabric
is cheaper in the end. Your men have confidence in your brake, wind faster
and you get more coal every hour of the day. Ferodo fabrics engage sweetly,
they save ropes and machinery. They give instant power and keep the drum
path always smooth and unworn.

WHICH IS BEST ?

We will gladly send samples, illustrated list and copies of testimonials to any inquirer.
