20 HP. CHASSIS - FRONT WHEEL BRAKES.

With reference to EY5/G.27.2.30. in which we suggested that the Works should stop producing the damping segments for the brake drums, please note the Experimental Department do not now feel that they are in a position to recommend discarding these parts without running into other difficulties, therefore until the 10,000 mile test has been satisfactorily completed with the modifications which they have in hand, we should continue with our present scheme; will you please arrange accordingly.
