To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} J 206 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}2/AP.25.11.36.

BRAKES FOR 1.B.1V.

The present brake system on this car is to be transferred to 6.B.1V.

To replace it will you fit the front axle complete with brake drums that recently ran 15,000 miles on 6.B.1V. Thus these drums will continue to run mileage.

The rear brake shoes of 6.B.1V. will have to be built on the rear axle now on 1.B.1V., and the drums with Lepaz liners fitted. The equalisers now on 6.B.1V. can be transferred to 1.B.1V. after the levers on them have been altered to standard.

This cancels any previous instructions about 1.B.1V. brakes.
