Hancock - Head Chateauroux}1/KT.27.2.31. c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RE NOISE FROM BRAKE STOPS. X5360. We have both on the Phantom and 25 HP. a metallic noise when the foot brakes are released by the levers hitting the axle tubes. We had on Ph.I. a scheme of a rubber buffer fitted to the axle to prevent this noise. It was dis-continued when the Hypoid axle was brought into production. Will you please see whether the scheme could again be applied. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
