H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/HP.7.1.35. 20/25 Pedals. Referring to the flanged end socket on the Pedal shaft which broke, we send you herewith N. Sch.4324 showing a spherical socket and end piece to enable the pedals to follow the engine more easily. The jaw sockets on the diagonal stay will now be strained slightly but they are much more flexible than was the rigid flanged socket. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
