| contd:- -2- Also I should not touch the starter side of the box but if we can put the dynamo in a better place, and gear driven, it will be a definite improvement. I do not think there is any reason for altering either the front brakes or the back ones on the axle, or equalising shafts. I do not think it would be good to adopt short stroke and heavy pulls for operating shafts, ropes, rods, or levers, as Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} suggests, for obvious reasons. I understand that the slow speed servo will cure all the serious faults - i.e. jaggers, chunking, inequality between front and back, changes due to servo heating - i.e. all but unequal braking due to oil or rusted up operating shafts, but this latter has not been a trouble of ours in the past.
