| X7770 To Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}6/KW.15.3.35. MR. Thomas' Car - 80-MS. We have made and tried on this car a longer differential lever on the front equaliser, and the result is good; we do not get into trouble with the servo reaching its stop. Since I saw you this morning we have decided that it would be advisable to return this car to standard before sending it back to its owner, in order that he may see if good standard Phantom brakes are what he requires; if we send this longer lever to Cricklewood should the customer still be dissatisfied, it will be a fairly simple matter to fit it. Will you please refit the lever attached herewith. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/A.F.Martindale. | ||
