PEREGRINE BRAKE ADJUSTMENT.
With the G.W.H. shoes set .007 - .008 on this car we think we can run with the following brake clearances without fear of seizing the brakes; particularly so when we have steel instead of aluminium shoes.
Rear Brakes to R.B.sch.292 set at .650 - 50 at end of 5.750 lever.
Front Brake to original N.Sch. set at .312 + 50 at end of 3.500 lever on carrier plate.
The GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} shoes both front & back should be set at .007 - .008.
