| X206. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M20.7.32. C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} BENSPORT REAR BRAKES. Herewith we send N. scheme 3501 shewing the arrangement of the single type rear brakes for Bensport. The axle tubes, hubs, and fittings, are intended to be the same as Peregrine except that Rudge-Whitworth wheels may be used instead of Dunlop. Though we are investigating the question of finding some method other than riveting for holding on the ferodo, we have not yet come to a decision, and have shewn an arrangement of rivets to carry on with.
