contd:-

The wear of the brakes is the same: the heat and wear of the servo is less because of the greater angle of action. This I know we were going to increase over the Hispano, but we can still further increase it until 80° is not unmanageable for angles according to my setting out.

The equaliser for the back brakes can be thus, or small carrier shaft can be used -
