| H3 X7420. To BY from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Brake Squeaking. This seems to be a complaint of a rather definite nature for which there is no known cure. I would refer to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M16.8.30 sending you N.Sch. 3140 showing the locomotive type brake for the front axle in accordance with R's suggestion. I should be glad to know how far this matter has progressed from the point of view of experimental test. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} [Stamp: RECEIVED SEP 10 1930 H.C.] | ||
