With reference to the above car which is now in the Test Dept. and which it is proposed to use for a demonstration of 4-wheel brakes.
The front axle on that car should be changed.
It is an obsolete pattern. All the parts on the axle such as - pivots, brakes and steering levers could be changed over.
