my revered father wrote you a letter in reply to the very interesting discussion on commercial vehicle brakes reported in your issue of February 8.
It may be a fact that he started our business with a T pattern Ford, but we have advanced a little since those days. I have a modern fleet of vehicles to operate under very different conditions to those which prevailed in the mid-twenties.
We don't want any T-pattern Ford thinking under today's conditions, thank you. I think your idea of calling a conference to discuss commercial vehicle braking was to be highly commended. Now may I suggest you call another such conference on the subject of the waxing of diesel fuel before we forget the problems of the last few weeks.
