| 4306 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}4/JH. 5.3.36. Ph.III Hand Brake Adjuster. We have been considering the latest type of hand brake adjuster evolved by the Design Dept. and we think that the number of occasions on which it would be used do not justify the expense of fitting it as standard. The original type of adjuster was an impossible affair, but it has been modified so that it is now usable. We are going to improve it still further by minor alterations, and when we have done so we will advise the Design Dept. of our decision, and send you a copy. In the meantime we think it is unnecessary for you to complete the 6 latest type adjusters. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
