1206 C.Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} LA{L. A. Archer}2/T13.6.36 re. Chassis B-80-GA - Chubb % I have discussed this matter with Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} and he agrees that on this chassis we should alter the bedding of the front brakes as I explained to you last Wednesday. I have explained to Mr Clarke at Kingsbury how this should be, and told him that you would inform Mr.Chubb that there was a slight modification we should like to carry out on this chassis, and persuade him to let Kingsbury have the car for a short time to carry out this modification. As explained to you, Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} takes this matter very seriously and has done a lot of experimental work on the front brakes, and he is hoping very soon to be able to issue his recommendations in connection with this job.
