ORIGINAL

40/50 - FOUR WHEEL BRAKES. L9940

We send herewith N.scheme 1710. shewing the type of sleeve spring clip with dowel pegs fitting into holes in the axle, instead of the type with a projecting key on the axle itself.

We should like N.scheme 1710. to be used for axles already in existence with the keys machined off.

Subsequently we expect to revert to the key type of which you have particulars on N.scheme 1317.
