I notice on the previous days reports, you mention that the rear brakes on the car were very effective which we assume relatively would mean that the front brakes were not very effective. We notice on the report of 35-PK car for 12.8.24. that an exhaust valve was found to be burnt. We should like to know what type of valve this was. It is is a Silchrome, please retain it as we should like to examine it. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
