| GANDY'S "SAFEGUARD" BRAKE LINING - CONTINUED - 3 - Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd. 21st August,1937. the conclusions arrived at in the research department of the Institution of Automobile Engineers. It would be interesting to see if the replacement of the friction-servo by a non-rotating type of servo, for example a vacuum servo, or, alternatively, a simple leverage system, would result in the elimination of the squeaking trouble. We are endeavouring to obtain a copy of the interesting report on Brake-Squeak which Mr. Martindale kindly loaned to the writer on his recent visit, and we will return your copy at the earliest opportunity. Yours faithfully, GANDY'S (The G.B.M. Co. Ltd.), per J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Hkin. | ||
