I have gone over many ways of making a clutch brake but most of the simple ones leave the running shaft with end pressure by the spring. If my suggestions here given are not good or possible, I think we should have a clutch brake ready in case it is needed. We must at least be as good as Hispano for time of stopping, and we must please PN. {Mr Northey} SA. and EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} All I believe like a fairly quick stopping clutch.
