Anti-Jagger Brake Parts.

Confirming our conversation with reference to N.Sch.4798, in addition to building the spare set of parts up with standard drums, we find that the quickest way to get a test will be to fit standard drums to the axle we are at present working on. We are therefore handing this axle over to you, and shall be obliged if you will fit standard drums as soon as ever possible, and transfer the axle to 1-B-IV, which is available.

In view of the disaster on a customer's 4¼ litre car, this is of the greatest urgency.
