| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} +206 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}6/KW.24.9.34. 2-B-IV. For some time this car has had very bad brakes. We found this to be due to the servo, the output of which was half what it should be. We dismantled the servo, found nothing wrong, re-lined with our new material and still could not improve the output. While Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} is here to-morrow will you please dismantle the servo and if you can find anything wrong, correct it, but if not fit a new servo and let us have the one on the car to try on the test rig.
