X1659 BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}8/M16.11.32. HYDRAULIC BRAKE OPERATION. Herewith we send N. sch. 3603 snewing an alternative method of arranging the actuating cylinder with an automatic adjustment, which is alternative to that snewn on N. sch. 3585. The advantage claimed is that failure of the pawl does not render the brakes inoperative, but simply causes adjustment to cease. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
