To BY from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Brake Squeaking.
This seems to be a complaint of a rather definite nature for which there is no known cure.
I would refer to DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 2/M16.8.30 sending you N.Sch. 3140 showing the locomotive type brake for the front axle in accordance with R's suggestion.
I should be glad to know how far this matter has progressed from the point of view of experimental test.
