| S/W. {Sales / Derby Works} You might be interested in reading the attached letter received from an enthusiastic young motorist after trying our Continental Touring Saloon No. 31-GX, and I would like to draw your attention particularly to what he says about brakes after I have pointed out to him that our back brakes take a good deal more of the braking pressure than the front shoes - one of the advantages being the practical impossibility of a front wheel skid. If you could give me any interesting facts, not only about engine vibrations but also about braking, I would be very glad to have any information which I could pass on to him without detriment to our future intentions.
