| To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to CJ. X4424 X559 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG30.10.22. "SAURER" FRONT WHEEL BRAKES. We send herewith 3 arrangement drawings which give particulars of the front brakes used on the Saurer Lorries. The Saurer officials in Paris informed me that there were no patents on this scheme. The brakes are arranged so that the foot pedal operates the 4 brakes. - there is no Servo. At the present time they have only made comparatively few Lorries with front wheel brakes.
