W. Frost - Coachwork Inspector}29.1.34. Bentley Brakes. In cases of heavy braking when the front axle has been found with a permanent set the toggle links are also usually bent. We have suggested on M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Sch.3958 herewith that a small increase in the thickness of the rectangular section would be an advantage here. The increase in strength is approximately 25%. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
