| contd:- -2- (2) Jaggers on front brakes. This complaint has got worse. The latest report is that they are got on good and bad roads with fairly light or heavy application of the brakes. In 200 miles run, the brake jaggers may occur a dozen times without in any way endeavouring to bring this feature up. We have asked them to reduce the effectiveness of the front brakes. At present it is 50% rear - 50% front. It is possible, if the servo is ineffective, they are using more direct pedal pressure, which could be applied suddenly. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
