| RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X 206 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}13/KW.25.5.34. Bentley Brakes with Reduced Leverage. Will you please put in hand a pair of levers to EX.12676/7 and also a pair to G.101233 but with centres increased to 2.450. We hope by these, in conjunction with 35º cams, to get the same amount of braking with an increased period between adjustment suitable for competition. We shall try this out on 1-B-IV, and can supply the servo cams. He/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
