| 300a To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} c. to FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}3/AP.10.9.37 Phantom Brakes 35-EX. The steel rear drums on this car appear to be unsatisfactory as they seem to give rise to a judder. To see if the drums are the cause of the trouble, will you please build up the C.I. drums handed to HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/FS{F. Steele} (they need new end plates and hubs and races) and fit them to 35-EX. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
