BENSPORT BRAKE DIFFERENTIALS.
X-S-S-3.
Herewith we send N. sch. 3599. showing the
arrangement of the rear brake differentials and cross member.

It will be seen that the rear parts of the differ-
entials are the same as for the front, but we have used the
aluminium outer casing twice instead of once, as this appears
to us to be an economy, the need for the steel casing having
departed with the arrangement whereby the foot pulls on all
the brakes.

Should we have to revert to the semi-servo
system we shall of course have to re-introduce the steel member.
