Our tests have shewn that there is a considerable margin for over-heating with the 7 to 1 servo compared with the ordinary brakes. The form of adjustment for the servo clearance is not very successful. We have had several of the tabs left on the thrust washers, break off. It takes considerable effort to move the adjustment even with the aid of a large spanner. We consider this is a point which could be improved. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
