| -2- (5) Brakes. We have more difficulty with cycle type wings in preventing front brake squeaks than with the ordinary cars. It is therefore quite possible that after we have done all we can Mr. Fedden's trouble will reappear. For this reason we agree that we should give him a hub removal tool so that he can deal with his brakes when they do give trouble. Now that we have the experience of Mr. Fedden's car we will try and find a palliative to cope with cycle type wing brake squeaks. We have B-23-AE to work on. (6) Windscreen Wiper. As you suggest, we agree that this should be dealt with by the Coachbuilder. (7) Speedometer and Rev. Counter. We do not know of a better speedometer and rev. counter that we can fit to the Bentley at the moment. We are ensuring that those fitted to the car are functioning satisfactorily. We suggest that he should deal with these at the same time as he deals with the lamps and horns. (8) Lamps & Horns. The suggestions that he should himself fit the type of foreign article which he prefers appears to us to be the best solution of the problem.
