RM.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/420.9.32. x+612. PRESSED STEEL BRAKE SHOES. With reference to HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KT17932., we have raised the question of the steel brake shoes with R.{Sir Henry Royce}, and though he does not seem averse to the proposal he has not yet given us a definite expression of opinion. When we have cleared up the clutch work on which we are now engaged we will take the opportunity to raise the question again. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
