Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to Hdy.{William Hardy} ORIGINAL X5360. Ha/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}1/Ms.31.12.32. BRAKES J.III We are sending you sketches of the brake layout fitted to 1 J.III car. It is not exactly to the M.Sch. but the layout was modified from GL.{G. Linnett}610 by alter-ing three levers in accordance with what we had found successful on Peregrine. On the road the brakes were quite good it being possible to lock all four wheels with a sufficient pedal pressure. We are sending you this information because we see that from the M.Sch.3627, you have just sent us, that you have not got the latest information about this car.
