RBCV Re DRB Test - what help 21-2-13 a) Excessive gear give to juddering brakes also b) Vicious instant clutch - pulling & on 1/3 Skefko memos car u/s not central on serving brake. c) Torsional oscillation of central br GINGER Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} cbn arm at centre bearing & universal turning (Torque tube axle) & maintaining. (Coronation rattles) d) Torsional protraction gives & hence juddering. Enormous axle load & movement of a short length on axles in getting off. A self acting moving on any other surface except downright if it's a self acting horizontally. These investigations continued by order of Hy{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} / on ED.{J. L.
