| S/W. {Sales / Derby Works} To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X8420 PN {Mr Northey} 4/EH.30.11.26. Copy to BJ. Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} CWB. Four Wheel Braking and Steering. When you have a car in which the four wheel braking has been modified experimentally to the ratio of 66% rear, 33% front, I shall be glad to have an opportunity of realising what differences this change of ratio may make, from the point of view of the owner-driver.
