Herewith we send N.sch.2250 shewing the mounting
of the rear brake differential on the gearbox cross member,
the hand brake differential etc.

It will be observed that we have altered the line
of the pull from the servo.

We have also altered the present bracket for carrying
the gearbox, and slightly altered the lever on the hand brake
shaft.

We may say that this arrangement is only suitable
for the proposed Mechanic's joint. If the universal joint
is changed at some future date it may be necessary to go
over the scheme again.
