B.V. & B.50. Servo.

In view of the fact that we find it advisable to use VG.90 servo linings which are now instructed, will you please instruct that all future experimental chassis are fitted with 30° instead of 33° servo cams.

This also applies to all chassis fitted with Hydraulic brakes to the front.
