Messrs Valley and Bay Motors Ltd., carry stocks of moulded brake lining , section already cut to length, drilled ana countersunk ready to bo rivetted to the ibrake shoe. In this connection the abovie firm has installed a system of super service for Chevrolet Six owners which will shortly be extended to the older models. This servico consists in a speeding up^ of common servico opoTations such. as valve reconditioning and cylindcr-hea>d decarbonizing. It is possible under this system for the owner of a Chevrolet Six to leave his car at the "V and B" Service Station for the above operation to be effected, and call again in one hour to take delivery.
