The Pressman in question, whom I have been with
today, takes the friendly view that no accepted Rolls-Royce
design would enable,in a system of front wheel brakes, the
front wheels to lock,and, that consequently the incident
referred to must have been due to something abnormal.
? This view was adopted,if not encouraged, but I should be glad
of any intelligent remarks from you on the subject to lighten
a somewhat dangerous situation.
