Bentley Brakes.
Anti-Judder N.Scheme 4365.

G.W.H. complains that this rattles.

The rattle comes from the link.

Herewith a scheme, Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}350 which possibly may not as a spring holds the various jaws etc. incontact with each other. Will you please make a couple of sets of parts, and fit them to 1-B-IV and B-56-BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}

As a final scheme we should like the pins to be 7/16 and 5/16 in. dia. but this scheme should be easier to make for a try out.
