| x5360 GRY{Shadwell Grylls} To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} By Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/HP.5.10.34. 20/25 HP. Braking System. With reference to Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}6/T.4.10.34, the 20/25 rear brakes are a very old layout and were not provided with oil catchers and drains to the camshafts, as are all the other brakes, including the 20/25 front brakes. We are proceeding to design an oil catcher and drain which appears to go in without much difficulty. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
