G.CD.181 Modifications to Girling Type Rear Brakes.

The above scheme shews the addition of a rubber
washer on the outside diameter of the adjuster spindle for the
brake shoes to ensure a water-tight joint between the spindle and
the dust cover. We have also shown on G.CD.181 a hexagon at
each end of the pedestals GB.2858/9, to facilitate the assembly
of the pieces.

Both the above modifications were requested under
memo HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/RH.{R. Hollingworth}2/NS.{Norman Scott}19.10.37.
