Phantom 2 Sheet Steel Brake Shoes (Front).

Herewith is N. Sch. 3799 shewing in the extreme right-hand side a reduced number of rivets for attaching the Zinc-Bonded Ferodo/linings to the existing sheet steel brake shoes.

The number and arrangement of the rivets is intended for trial and may be modified.

The middle view shews a suggestion for another method of making a welded shoe, and on the left it is suggested that if the zinc-bonded Ferodo eliminate squeaks, the squeak damper shoes might be dispensed with, thereby simplifying the brakes.
