| X9910 To DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hsl/LG29.3.24. BRAKES. Attached are particulars you asked for with regard to friction losses with the WW. servo. We shall be making further tests with the plates located by pegs and as large a radius as possible. Lovesey suggests that by cutting the present jaws at an angle, we could gain a certain mechanical advantage. [Watermark: MADE AT CROXLEY] Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
