To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 10/KT.17.11.33.

Will you please put in hand three sets of 350 servo cams. We find that with the present arrangement of increased front braking on the 20/25 that the servo hits the stops. too easily. We wish to revert to the original leverage and obtain more front braking by a steeper cam angle.
