To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ.
BJ2/H14.11.24.
Car No. 48-PK.

The following notes occur in connection with the test of 48-PK:-

Mileage 3776. On one occasion only on applying the brakes a very serious jagger was experienced from the servo gear. This totally distinct from previous jaggers reported, which were in the brakes themselves and clearly due to road conditions.

Mileage 4018. A very slight tendency to pull to near side on applying brakes has developed.
