PHANTOM - FRONT BRAKE BEDDING. We believe we were in error in stating that the Works were not bedding front brake shoes concentrically, being mislead by conversation with the man on the job. Attached is a blue print of the way in which we should like brake shoes to be bedded on all further front axles of the lightened type.
