Letter detailing the proposed design for a brake magnet and an order for its components.

Drawing No. B.155 shews the brake magnet as I would propose to make it.

The coils will be rigidly held without them actually touching the case.

Articulated connections between moving core and dashpot plunger rod would be fitted with a loose head and this would permit assembling of piston without the encumbrance of bottom cast iron base casting.

I am placing an order with Sankeys for .014 Stalloy Stampings for fixed and moving cores, as they want 4 weeks for delivery.

I Remain,

Yours faithfully,

FOR AND ON BEHALF OF
ROYCE LIMITED.
