brake adjustment and brake clearances should be gone into,
and the Instruction Book which is now in print should be
revised in this respect.

After going into the matter with the Experimental

Buffer springs set to give movement of .030".

Servo Brake clearance .030".

Pedal movement for servo action .55".

Rear brake actuating lever end movement 1.5"
(chassis only. No.load).
