HAND BRAKE ADJUSTMENT. The modified type of adjustment fitted, has been found to be very satisfactory, but we suggest that the size of the hexagon outside cap be altered to suit a 11/16 " spanner instead of a 5/8 " as it is at present. This will obviate the necessity of carrying a special spanner for this job. We enclose also, a sketch of the adjusting spanner which is necessary. This is a plain angle key with a 1/4 x 1/4 square. This should be incorporated in the tool kit. The measurements of the square should be confirmed by a drawing of the unit. ----------- GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}/HFH.{Hoppy F.
