1719 To JIE. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}10/RT.14.12.33. INEFFICIENT BRAKES AFTER WASHING CARS. Since the beginning of B.2. series of 20/25 chassis, we have been fitting MR. material for the brake linings - i.e., the same material as is standard on the Bentley. Will you please let us know whether these cars suffer in the same way from inefficient brakes after washing the car as the Bentley. Also have you [REDACTED] any complaints of this trouble on cars fitted with the Bonded Asbestos lining - i.e. all cars previous to B.2. series. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
