Identifier  WestWitteringFiles\E\November1920\  Scan42
Date  10th November 1930
  
2 V SHAPED NOTCHES ONLY
THE EFFECT OF THE ADJUSTING NUT CLIMBING OVER ITS V SHAPED LOCKING NOTCHES IS A SAFEGUARD TO PREVENT THE BRAKE SHOES BEING ADJUSTED TOO CLOSELY TO THE DRUMS.
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT SUGGESTED BY MR ROYCE FOR GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)).
THIS ADJUSTMENT IS SIMILAR IN PRINCIPLE TO THAT USED ON THE 40/50 CHASSIS BUT HAS FEWER PARTS.
