| To Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG19.1.29. We should be glad if you will confirm that the rear brakes on the present Phantom do keep free from mud. It has been found on the SS.{S. Smith} that the shield was ineffective because it overlapped the flange on the drum. We see no reason why this should not happen on present production cars and therefore would like to know your experience. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
