| 806 + 406 To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} HYDRAULIC BRAKES. On the B.V. and B.50 chassis in which the 8 cylinder engine is fitted and where hydraulic front brakes are specified it is necessary to fit the hydraulic master cylinder behind the gearbox in the X. To GCD.1339. Details for this scheme are not yet complete. This applies to 4.B.50 and 11.B.V. which should be fitted with similar arrangement to that mocked up on 30.G.VI. 30° servo cams are also required. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B.
