BRAKES 3 PEREGRINE II.

We have altered the 5.000 lever Ex.9786 to 3.400 CTS{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} on this car. 400 servo cams have also been fitted. The GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} shoes set at .0075 instead of .020 are satisfactory. We recommend this setting for the next three cars. The 4.800 levers on the rear axle should have .500 movement for clearance.
