| To Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} [crossed out text] X52420 RHC {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} 7/BE. 27.5.25. RE INDIA(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes) FRONT AXLE With reference to the lock on the above Axle. The maximum we can obtain is:- Right Hand Lock 33° with Brake Pull Rod just fouling Axle. Left " " 38½° " " " " " " The brakes can be operated on these Locks. If Operating Levers are increased as suggested to obtain 41° on both locks, we doubt whether the brakes could be operated as the Bottom Ball End will foul on the Dust Cover. RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} [Signature] | ||
