PEREGRINE(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) BRAKES.

With present servo stroke we require Direct 377 units and servo 430XS units. (same as 20/25)

With 15% larger servo this can be :-

377 + 500S

Arranged to give 45% front braking this becomes :-
377 + 200S to rear + 300 S to front

All the levers in the servo braking remain to the original N.scheme giving 193 S and 304S.

The direct lever G.100958 at present 2.000 is increased to 3.400.
