| X5940 HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 20 HP. FRONT WHEEL BRAKES. I am sending you herewith an aluminium cover for the above. The works have filed two curves towards the bottom of the central slot, with the object of enabling them to take this cover off without dismantling other parts, as this will enable them to slide the cover over certain projections. I am afraid from the look of it that it will mean a big risk of water getting inside the brake. Personally I do not think the job is a good one, and would like you to have an opportunity of looking at it and expressing your views. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} [Signature] | ||
