| X9940 PN{Mr Northey}2/DN8.11.24. TO Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM PN{Mr Northey} Front Wheel Brake details. Many thanks for your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG6.11.24. It happens, more by good luck than skill, that the description I gave to the inquirer on this point, is confirmed in every particular by what you have written. As the printed proofs of instructions in connection with F.W.B's are now being criticised, I think it is important that you should be able to advise a reduction of the amount of personal attention required in connection with frequent lubrication, otherwise people become rather frightened, especially the owner-driver.
