To: "Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}" From: G.W.Hancock. ------------------- Chassis 9 G.III. In to-day's report, we have stated increased pressure required on foot brake pedal. We considered that previous to fitting new servo cams sent out, the pressure required on foot brake per the ratio of braking of the car was about the right amount. With the new servo cams fitted, the pressure required on brake pedal feels more like the old standard pressure required on foot brake only. We do not care for it at all, as now one has more or less to get one's back into the seat to get braking affects at high speeds. We should be pleased to know the reason for changing these cams, as we did not consider the braking at all too severe. G.W.Hancock. | ||
