Sidgreaves - MD} WOR. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} BENSPORT(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) - 14" DIA. BRAKE DRUMS. On looking into this matter in connection with other parts of the brake system we came to the conclusion that some modification to the existing brake gear - other than mere scaling up - would be needed, and therefore we decided to makethe two drawings - N.schs.3570/71. - herewith (Front and Rear Brake Shoes.) It will be seen that we have slightly varied the proportions compared with the standard scheme. DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
