| 200a HPS. {Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AFM. {Anthony F. Martindale} Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AFM {Anthony F. Martindale} 6/R.19.3.37. 3.B.IV. BRAKES. The rear brakes of this car are worn out after 2,000 miles, and we shall have to reline them. This rather points to another mix-up over brake lever lengths. Will you please rivet the Ferodo BZ we have given you to a set of foot brake shoes and send them out to Sr. Paris, as soon as possible. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AFM. {Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
