| PN.{Mr Northey} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X7120. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/AD23.2.32. 27-EX. With regard to your criticism of 27-EX brakes, the most probable cause for loss of efficiency is oil on the servo. The brakes are standard except that the car is fitted with cast iron drums but these make no difference to the braking efficiency. We think if the car is sent to Cricklewood they ought to be able to improve the brakes. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
