The following is an extract from Mr Royce's memo R3/P 317.14. :- "This of course is very urgent. "The air cooled drums should be made in duplicate "so that I can have some to test as quickly as "possible (since received). "What I want is not a long road test, but a compar- "ison of the capacity of this brake compared with "our present foot brake, for getting rid of heat, "that is, our present foot brake with Ferodo liners. "I also want the drawings showing the cooling ribs. p. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Mcr. | ||
