| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} x206 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/KW.8.4.36. Brake Jaggers on the Bentley. We have handed you a sketch of a device to prevent brake jaggers on the Bentley, which is applicable to the standard car. We shall be very glad if you could urge these parts, because we hope they will be a complete solution to this very dangerous phenomenon. Furthermore, we want to use aluminium brake drums at Le Mans, but unless we can get a cure for jaggers before then, they will be too dangerous to put on the car.
