PHANTOM III - BRAKE DRUMS.

Cricklewood called my attention to three cars in for modification with regard to the rear brake drums running out of truth.

The amount of out of truth was from .011 to .017".

A correct setting of the brakes was not possible until the drums were trued up.

G.W. Hancock.
