REAR BRAKES. Referring to the attached scheme G.CD.558 which shews our proposal to retain the 16" drums on the rear of Ph.lll when the Hand and Foot Brake are combined, it will be necessary for us to make the few details required ourselves. The new brake drum, new inner carrier pressing and shoe without tipping shoe could be got going quite quickly by tracing from this drawing. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
