Wraith III Rear Brakes.

We send herewith N.Sch.5076 showing a modification to the rear brake bell crank levers on the frame, to delete the brazing.

A split clamped and keyed lever is shown on the recommendation of Mr/Hr Morris, as the cheapest way to do this job. The use of a one piece forging is not thought to be practicable.

This drawing shows a stop pin with the taper deleted as requested by HPS. {Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}

N.Sch.5076 herewith.
