C. to [REDACTED] X8470 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 2/LGL.12.26. FOUR WHEEL BRAKING AND STEERING. X8430 With reference to PN {Mr Northey} 4/EH30.11.26. We consider that the characteristics of the braking of cars vary so much that the only satisfactory method of obtaining an impression of the reduced braking is to alter the distribution on some car with which you are already familiar. We therefore propose to send to you 2 levers so that you may have these fitted by Cricklewood to any car which you may select.
