| RR 755B (10H) 26074 2-11-36 WHK 24999 COMPLETED 23.8.37. BENTLEY STANDARDISATION of PARTS. Date 4.6.37. X No. 241. Drawing No. G.57101. G.57102. Description of Parts: 35° Servo Cams. Origin: To give suitable pedal pressure with Ferodo BZ linings. Report of Experimental Test. Both cars fitted with BZ (i.e. 3-B-IV and B-23-AE) have also had 35° Servo cams: we think we ought to standardize the combination we have tried. The pedal pressure necessary to operate the brakes is reduced.
