| 360 HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM{Anthony F. Martindale}1/R.8.12.36. 35-EX - REAR BRAKES. Will you please fit N.Sch.4778 to the rear brakes of this car before it goes to France. This is a scheme for protecting the oilite bushes of the rear bell crank levers from water by means of leather washers. Owing to a seizure having occurred on 36-EX, it is important to run this in France. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
