Martindale}4/R.5.12.36. 5.B.IV. & 6.B.IV. BRAKES. With reference to memo Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD{Frank Dodd - Bodies}14/JH.2.12.36. in which we asked you to build up N.Sch.4860 on the front axle of 5.B.IV. to see if we could get more steering lock; as we find we get no more lock by doing this, will you please re-build the original brakes in this car. As regards the specification of 6.B.IV with Girling brakes, will you please note that the Ferodo we provided is S.6611 and not BZ. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F.
