Further to the experiments we wish to try with this servo, we send you Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}950 showing a friction plate with staggered sections. We think this may provide more progressive braking and help to eliminat thumps. This will be used, of course, in conjunction with Ferodo material. Ha/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
