| R10/B21.4.13. Mr. Bailey from F.H.R. Copies sent to: Mr. Johnson. Mr. Nadin. Mr. Wormald. Re Double Brakes. Experiment Department report that brake shoes are liable to be drawn away from pin - evidently they either seize slightly or stickey grease is being used. As there is evidently some risk of such a fault each shoe (both) should embrace the pin and as the single pin construction which we have is lighter than any double pin construction canbe, I propose that we try the following scheme:- Sketches attached.
