| In the 1890's Herbert Frood pioneered the
manufacture of woven cotton brakes for horse drawn carts. In 1897, with the
advent of the new motorised carriages, he realised that much more hard wearing
and heavier duty brakes were needed. Very soon he had developed materials that
could do the job.It was not long before he won the contract to supply brake
linings to the London General Omnibus Company for their first motor buses. So
successful were Frood's brake linings that contracts with many vehicle
manufacturers followed. Shortly after the turn of the century, the company's
long history of supplying "Original Equipment" brake materials to the motor
manufacturers began. Frood decided that, to build on his success, his company
needed a recognisable brand name. Some juggling of the letters of his own name
led him to choose "FERODO", which quickly became the recognised symbol for the
highest quality in braking performance. We show Ferodo on our Bullnose.
