| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X 206 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}5/KW.22.2.34. Bentley Brake Judders. Will you please put in hand a pair of steel front brake carrier plates instead of the present aluminium, and also a pair of outer carrier plates in .128 material instead of .104. We think this should show whether stiffening up parts that are likely to distort has any bearing on the trouble. We should also like to try a pair of nitrided drums.
