SQUEAKING BRAKES.

At BJ's request, I give you following extract from the Minutes of the Sales Conference on the above:-
"Attention was drawn to the fact that our brakes frequently squeak, on both the 40/50 h.p. and the 20 h.p., and the Conference expressed the hope that something could be done in the near future to remove this defect, which undoubtedly had a very bad effect upon purchasers and prospective purchasers of our cars."
