6-B-IV.

We understand that there has never been a proper detail drawing showing the modifications to the clutch operating cross shaft necessary to give the correct angularity when cantilever pedals to N.Sch.4156 are used. In the previous cases of 5-B-IV and B-23-AE the necessary modifications were made in the shop without drawings.

In view of the congestion in G. {Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Dept. we suggest that a scheme is prepared in this department to show the correct position of the keyway, using a Borg & Beck clutch to GB.2099 and cantilever pedals to N.Sch.4156.
