EAC.7. DOUBLE REAR BRAKES.

Herewith we send N.sch. 2149 and 2150., shewing the design of the double rear brakes with sheet metal brake carrier, and brake drum etc. in which we have embodied R's suggestions up to the present moment.

We have not incorporated his proposed automatic adjustment for the brakes as that will be done on a separate drawing.

We think it would be as well to wait until we hear R's further remarks before doing any extensive detailing work on these drawings.
