These relics of an inefficient age have all the shortcomings common to makeshifts. They are adversely affected by pressure, speed and heat, charring or failing through changing conditions and requiring constant refitting owing to their short life. Ferodo fabric was designed simply and solely to serve as a friction surface. Years of experience were concentrated on producing a material not only to supersede the makeshifts by eliminating their drawbacks, but to give a higher co-efficient of friction which would enable engineers to raise their standard of production.
