| H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to Sh. W.H. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} L. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/H16.11.32. X/597 HYDRAULIC BRAKE OPERATION. Herewith we send M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} sch. 360S. showing an alternative method of arranging the actuating cylinder with an automatic adjustment, which is alternative to that shown on M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} sch. 3585. The advantage claimed is that failure of the pawl does not render the brakes inoperative, but simply causes adjustment to cease. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
