DISTORTION OF BRAKE BRACKETS DUE TO INTENSIFIER ON GREASEGUN. X5420 X7806 Although we agree that an instruction shou-ld be sent round explaining to customers how the intensifier should be used, at the same time we think we ought to modify the design so that there is no possibility of the intensifier causing the brakes to jam. A full report as regards the 20 HP. was sent through by us (Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL/LG12.2.26) in which we made definite recommend-ations, and carried out tests which prove that with a very slight modification the 20 HP. brakes can be made so that the intensifier has no ill affect.
