| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} x506 To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} From Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 20/25 Brakes. Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}E. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}12/E14.5.35 Referring to the modifications, I think that we ought to go steady about some of the modifications other than the cam because, after about 300 miles with the modifications on my car, I notice that the brakes have started to squeak and there is a sort of judder or shudder which I imagine comes from the servo if one applies the brakes suddenly. I am wondering whether this is due to the new type non-fading servo linings. I will try to bring my car to Bignalls Corner on Friday so that Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} can try it. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
