PHANTOM AXLE. When the new type axle comes into production we should like the front brakes to be bedded concentrically instead of the present somewhat involved bedding employed. We suggest that if attention was given to machining the brake straps, hand work on the liners could be avoided. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
