Dear Mr. Hopps, Replying to your letter of October 28th, the only thing we have against discs is their weight, and the fact that they tend to emphasize axle noises, etc. We have no experience of increased tyre temperatures due to discs. The question of fitting spare make and break condensers has not yet been finally decided, but we will let you know should it become our policy to include this fitting. Yours sincerely, | ||
