Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/HP.17.2.34. c. for E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hdv. HEC. GRY{Shadwell Grylls} Bentley Brakes. Herewith is N. Sch.3980 showing the 14" drums (Front) rearranged with alum shoes. Since we wish to reduce the angle of shoe embrace on the front brakes, and the same shoes can be used on the back, the suggestion is that these shoes should be substituted for those on N. Sch.3974. N. Sch.3979 also herewith, shows the cam movements. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
