| S/W. To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re P.III Brakes. Referring to the trouble which was spoken of last week at Derby and the cure for which was to be the sheet metal stops, this is a trouble which I should have thought would have shown up more in our Chateauroux tests than in the hands of a customer because, from what was said, I gather it arises when the brakes are severely used when the car is driven at high speed. I should be interested to know what the tests showed on this point. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
