| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X206 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} 24/KW. 8.4.35. Anti-Squeak Weights on Bentley Brake Shoes. We have trouble on Fedden's car fitted with cycle type wings, as the brakes squeal. We find we can reduce this squeal by fitting partially floating weights on the shoes. We have made sketches Ms.1889/92 of the essential parts. The drawings are attached hereto. Will you please make one set. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/A.F.Martindale. | ||
