"INDIA" & ITS SUITABILITY FOR F.W.B. -------------------------- Referring to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/LG. 27.2.25. and considering particularly the last paragraph, there is no doubt in my mind as to the suitability of "India" for the FWB. we shall finally adopt. In regard to testing out the Front Wheel Brakes themselves, we shall undoubtedly have a number of problems to solve, but once solved, the solutions will be capable of application to "India" as at present defined and understood. I think the foregoing replies definitely to the question you asked on the telephone to-day. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Ry | ||
