| X. 7330 DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from R. {Sir Henry Royce} HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to BJ. Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} R2/M.2.4.28. N.sch.2551 seems excellent. There are just one or two small points. The looking down lever on the hand lever shaft has an offset of about ½". It would be better if this could be avoided, for obvious reasons. One wonders if this lever is not the weakest piece in the system. Also see if box key can be used where-ever practical. One I can see just doubtful - i.e. large bolt through cross member.
