| To Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. R. {Sir Henry Royce} BJ. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} +4118 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 2/T24.1.27. +4117 With reference to Hm {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} 's quarterly list of Complaints, we see that there are 22 complaints of brakes squeaking on the "India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes)" cars. The majority of these are stated to be front wheel brake squeaks. As we have found that a damper is such an efficient cure on the Phantom, we suggest that we should get out a similar device for "India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes)". At the same time we are conducting tests with different types of lining. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
