13 after-market brake linings to place on the vehicles; by
14 manufacturer, we are talking about.

From all of these suppliers of new parts that you have
16 mentioned, Mr. Ridenour, were the brake assemblies
17 purchased from these companies with the brake pads and
18 linings or were just linings and pads purchased from some

22 one of these suppliers supplied Ford with brake assemblies
23 and which ones supplied them just with pads or linings?
24 . Yes.
25 Can you tell us that?
