Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}2/MA.12.4.33. BRAKES. We send you herewith details of the brake layouts on all chassis together with the ratio of front to rear braking. These are the most up to date figures. We are experimenting on J.III with reduced front braking to the 20/25 amount. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
