Discs on the side

Sir,

I write in respect to the Technofile article in the May’s MOTOR SPORT. Freddie Dixon and Walter Perry won the 1923 Isle of Man Side-Car TT race with a Douglas sidecar outfit equipped with disc brakes. This predates the Jaguar C-type’s win at Le Mans by some 30 years.

I AM, YOURS, ETC

G Lloyd-Jones, Ramsey, Isle of Man
