| -2- Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 5/KW.3.5.35. should be incorporated if you decided to build a further set for us to try in place of the present layout. We hope you appreciate that the drum weight question is serious. If a particular design of brakes requires heavier drums for cooling purposes it is doubtful whether with our servo system it is an advantage. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
