| M. {Mr Moon / Mr Moore} FROM DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} ORIGINAL DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 3/M16.11.32. C. to C.C., W.R., H.S. BENSPORT(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) 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. DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
