Martindale} 1245 Levallois Sr/VA4/ET.27.4.37 Re: CHASSIS 3.AZ.20 - CONTINENTAL TRIALS CAR With reference to your By4/G.23.4.37, we suggest that, unless we hear from you to the contrary, we return the two front brake drums to Works for examination, as mentioned in our Sr/VA5/ET. 21.4.37. We think the rear drums can be skimmed out to a size a little under 16.050", and they could then be kept as a stand by in case we should at some future date need a set of rear drums. Please let us know if you agree to the above. As requested by you, we will address the drums for the attention of Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Sr/VA. File | ||
