| - 3 - E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}1/Hr.10.4.34. (9)- Fully floating servo - improved braking. (10)-Easy brake adjustment. (12)-Spherical bearings in brake equaliser shafts - improved braking and cheaper production. (15)-Backed off second speed gear dogs - easier gear change. These items do not mean costly jig and tool alterations and although they do not appear to be of great advantage to the customer we think they should go on if they are satisfactory throughout the 10,000 miles test. Any improvements in the braking system are we think worth passing on to the customer. E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
