Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /JD. {J. Draper - Frames} c. By {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /Ald. {F. Allwood - Experimental Design} RM {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AFM. {Anthony F. Martindale} 10/WH.24.11.38. B.V. FRAMES FOR HYDRAULIC FRONT BRAKES. With reference to the scheme SCD.951 of the Master Cylinder for operation of the front brakes driven off the present servo, this scheme necessitates a hole in the frame in a different position in order to give a reasonable shape of distance piece. This scheme was not originally intended for production, but as the design scheme of servo for hydraulic front brakes is behind schedule, we may have to standardise the SCD scheme, so will you please see that the frame details are altered to accomodate the master cylinder.
