| To PN.{Mr Northey} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to BJ. 49940 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}9/LG5. 6. 24 ADOPTED SCHEME OF BRAKES. 49940 49941 The first car fitted with the final scheme of brakes will be leaving for France tomorrow. It is calling at Conduit Street in the morning in order to obtain the triptyque papers. There will be time for you to have a run round on this car. We should be pleased if you could take the opportunity of trying this car before it leaves and let us have your impressions. Perhaps the chief point we should like to know is whether you consider the pedal pressure desirable. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
