SERVO GEARS. x5370 x5340 We attach a report of tests carried out in France on 9-G-111 investigating the rattle which comes from the servo gears. The production cars which have been built with 4-wheel brakes have not had this rattle to any degree. It may only be a question of time before it develops. These investigations will be continued when the car has completed the 10,000 miles in France. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
