| X. 7360 To BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BJ. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 4/M23.7.26. EAC-7 REAR BRAKES. We send herewith N.sch.2234 shewing the promised modification to the rear brake camshaft and toggle gear as required by R. {Sir Henry Royce} It will be seen that the shoes are altered, and there is considerable alteration to the pieces of the brake gear, including the central carrier forging, but the hub, brake drum etc. remain the same. A new method of cutting the cams is shewn, which allows for a solid collar for oil throwing. R. {Sir Henry Royce} wishes that the first EAC.7. should have the modifications as shewn on N.schs. 2231/32/34. DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} [Watermark: DICKINSON BOND] | ||
