PHILLIPS, Emlyn and Central Engineering Works and Foundry, NEWPORT, MON., England. THE ORIGINAL FIRM—ESTABLISHED 1867. Ferodo Friction Surfaces. The success of Ferodo fabric has demonstrated how great the need was for it. It is now used in every branch of engineering —wherever brakes and clutches are to be found. It is the most trustworthy lining made, stringent tests proving the quality of each weaving before it leaves our works. If you are interested in increasing the margin of safety on your winders or obtaining a larger output from your plant—let us give you exact data which will enable you to employ Ferodo fabric to the greatest advantage. Our unique experience, extending over 20 years, is entirely at your service. FRICTION SURFACES.

AND CLUTCH LININGS IN its production, the essential features, not only of immediate and reliable check, but perfect resistance to the highest frictional heat, has been provided for. Manufactured only from guaranteed 100% pure asbestos reinforced by metallic strands and containing no cotton or other fibre perishable by heat, woven solid in all thicknesses up to one inch, transmitting a sure grip and engagement, soft as velvet and pliant as a hand grasp, it easily outlives many times all Other braking media—whether of metal, wood or other combinations. Used by hundreds of Collieries, Forges, Engineering Works, etc., for Winding Drums, Brake Posts, Drift or Transport Winches, and all Power Clutch and Brake Gears ; also for Trolleys, Cranes, Hauling Machinery, and Electro-mechanical Brakes fitted to Hoists, Centrifugal Machines, etc., above or below ground or water.
