These relics of an inefficient age have all the short- comings common to makeshifts. They are adversely affected by pressure, speed and heat. Ferodo fabrics give a higher co-efficient of friction, which enables engineers to raise their standard of production. THOMAS SUMMERSON & SONS LTD., ALBERT WORKS, DARLINGTON.
