More consistent coefficient of friction properties were obtained from the Class C prototype between 600 and 1200 rpm Class C prototype produced less noise than the standard Class C brake tween pad The difference be- the maximum and mini- mum coefficient of friction was less with the prototype containing Friction Modifier A than standard Class C material Desirable characteristics of Class B lower wear less noise and a more constant coefficient of friction may be achieved through use of the 10 Friction Modifier A composition It must be noted that this percentage should not be considered as the amount necessary for other compositions compositions Commercial applications New technology for these new friction modifiers was first de- veloped in Dow Corning's Munich Research and Development Lab- oratory The first commercial evaluation and successes were in Eur- opean brake pads Friction Modifier A has been used in the brake pads of a large European car for several years The performance of the brake pad with the new friction modifier was compared with another composition containing MoS2 Comparisons made on a dy namometer showed the following advantages over the MoS2 com- position lower noise level less dependence of friction coef- ficient on temperature decreased wear of the brake pad 30 increase in lifetime decreased wear of the metal disc Since the initial usage in Eur ope other European brake and clutch material manufacturers have evaluated these new friction modifiers They have generally found them equal or superior to MoS but they do not always provide the same characteristics since different materials are used in each formulation In the U.S.A. a number of brake and clutch friction ma- terial manufacturers have already evaluated the friction modifiers Some have found that in semi- metallic brake pads without asbestos these new additives can reduce noise wear and fade In some cases no improvement was found .

They were supposed to clean it up in 1966 and Tommy didn't know why they didn't clean it up Now however Mr. Byrne said that although the union has made some headway negotiations will be tougher because Bendix closed its two Windsor plants last August What can you change now - they're gone
