"* (f I' 5 r K ( c j % W. L. Oaerini 6 July 20, 1978 Me ' lolland, The stamped aluminum wheel program has . i been accelerated by shifting monies from various projects. One of these projects la the asbestos free brake lining; the dai data are attached. According to my lnfjrmation Chassis only spent $2,000 of their original $114,000 for asbestos free brake lining. They have told Tech. Plan ning that the venders are slowing their efforts. I doubt this and feel that probably Chassis is not pursuing this project with any intensity. Please check into it and report to me by 7/25 end keep Carolyn informed. i ( 105518 003092 PRODUCED BY FORD 1 CpNFI 0 E N T I A L - ADVANCED ENGINEERING LETTER +/t* > Technical Planning - NAAO APT Hn 76-10 CATE 6-26-7R Mr .
