| To: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} From G.W.H Hôtel de France Chateauroux 24/3/30. Re your enquiries of brake wear. This is receiving our attention. It is a bit too early as yet to give you any definite results after the fitting of the reduced leverage to the rear brakes. We do not think there will be any doubt as to the wearing capabilities of the brakes as we have already completed 10,000 miles with only one full turn of adjustment to rear brakes. G.W.H. | ||
