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.
