| TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M24.11.23. FRONT WHEEL BRAKES. X9940 X1559 Thank you for your HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/MLG221123., We can see that taken in this way you can get over 40,000 lbs inches torque on the front axle, but we meant that we were not calculating on getting so much braking, in fact we are not reckoning on getting much over 11,000 lbs inches, which will reduce the deflection of the spring very much.
