Ferodo's "Record Braking" for 1938...a look at,by today's standard, an extravagant advertising booklet on their successes for 1938...

Like many of the trade house in Britain and elsewhere prior to about 1950, Ferodo the brake, clutch and friction lining people put our a rather extravagant advertising booklet on the successes using their produces....
The titled it Ferodo Record Braking....
(an apt pun in the title on the word "braking"....)
So lets look at the 1938 edition in it's entirety....although as the first 19 pages are devoted to the automotive successes and I'm predominately a motorcyclist, I'll cover those two pages at a time, with the motorcycle stuff a page at a time....
As usual for my blog...left click on the images to enlarge.....
Where are these available? Guess a swap meeting, sometimes on Ebay and on the elusive book auctions.....
I'd suggest you'd be paying up to 50 quid for a good copy.....
