Now that we have a scheme on production for preventing excess oil getting on to the brake linings, and in view of the fact that we still receive complaints of the actuating shafts seizing up, we suggest that we should increase the oil supply to these two shafts. At present they are fitted with ZS1 and ZT1 to the foot and hand brake respectively. [STAMPED] MAR 29 1935 | ||
