B.50. CHASSIS. BRAKE LINKAGE.

The brake rod from the servo to the intermediate shaft is rather long and whipping on the B.50 now being erected. It is suggested that a steady from the frame cross might prevent excessive whip. G.CD.752 shews a short metal bracket with a standard rubber grommet, for fitting to this car for trial.
