BRAKE SQUEAKS - BENTLEY.

Further to our memo Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM{Anthony F. Martindale}4/AP.10.6.37., in which we advised fitting Ferodo BZ and 35° servo cams in complaint cases of brake squeaks, we think it advisable to fit anti-judder levers N.Sch.4865 to any car so altered.

Although 35° servo cams should not increase the tendency to judder, it is unwise to run any risks.
