We dismantled it and have found that the rear ball race Hoffmann J.T.320, either the outer jurnal has cracked or there is a chipped ball. Will you please send us a new race. ----------------- FRONT BRAKE GEAR. We are enclosing a sketch showing the faulty lay out of the levers and rods, preventing the mechanism from returning to the proper stops. This should be watched on the production chassis. ................... Handwritten Signature Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
