| S/W. {Sales / Derby Works} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ...from PN. {Mr Northey} x7420. PN. {Mr Northey} 3/WT6.2.30. "Phantom II". Sir Henry Segrave insists upon it that our front brake drums have a surface only of about one-third that of the brake-drums on the Hispano, consequently he states he is wearing his brake parts under the conditions which he drives, altogether faster than he did with his Hispano. I told him that I would obtain definite information as to the relative areas referred to. PN. {Mr Northey} | ||
