To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}7/KT.19.6.33.

BRAKE JAGGERS.

We send you herewith a scheme Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1043 of a modification to the axle control with which we hope to overcome brake jaggers.

The spring loading is transferred to the other side of the ball allowing a forward tilt of the axle of about 1° when the brakes are applied.

Will you please make a set of the necessary pieces to try out on 1.J.3. chassis.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}
