Martindale}5/MH.{M. Huckerby}19.1.38. BENTLEY 'M' SERIES BRAKES. RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} insists on knowing in a fortnight what brakes to fit to the 2nd. half of 'M' series. As the Girling rear brakes have not gone to France yet we do not see how we can instruct any other than the present type of brakes. 'M' series is an improved brake system with heavier drums, better servo and more reliable lubrication scheme to rear brake actuating shafts. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F.
