A.F. Sidgreaves, Esq., contd.

arrange so that a little more braking is on the front of the car?

As soon as I have been able to test the car on one of my long journeys abroad, I will be pleased to let you have a more detailed report, but in the meantime I hope this letter will convey my impression of the brakes to you under my ordinary driving conditions in this country. If you would like to know any more details, please let me know, as apart from anything else, I am very interested in braking problems at the moment, particularly as we are always carrying out tests in this direction on E.R.A. Racing Cars.

With kind regards,

Yours sincerely,

(Sgd.) Raymond Mays.
