X5370 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}10/KT.17.11.33. Will you please put in hand three sets of 350 servo cams. We find that with the present arrangement of increased front braking on the 20/25 that the servo hits the stops. too easily. We wish to revert to the original leverage and obtain more front braking by a steeper cam angle. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
