| ORIGINAL TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M11.12.23. Y1559 X9940 FOUR WHEEL BRAKES. Several designs are standing still for information as to the best leverages. For instance the epicyclic pressure distributing gear is finished but awaiting the result of the experiments we presume you are making on the existing gear converted in accordance with some instruction we recently sent you. I tell you this not to worry you but to indicate to you the reason why we are not sending through modified designs of parts which we know are going to be altered.
