FILE X7360. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} from GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} 12.10.32. Re. Phantom Brakes. We have tried the efficiency of the brakes by letting out the adjustment at one side and tightening up the other side, with a view of confirming the efficiency of the equalizing shafts. We found that under all conditions of braking an even load was being applied to both rear brakes. G.W.H. | ||
