| X.4257. To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Ba. c. to CJ. c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} De4/MS.5.228 GOSHAWK 11. BRAKE CONNECTIONS. X.4257. We send herewith M.sch.1269 shewing the proposed improved joint on the brake tables. Of the 2 alternatives shewn we think that fig. 2 is likely to be the most satisfactory but as the existing joint is similar to fig.1. we should like both to be tried. Our objection to fig. 1. is shewn in a note in which it is calculated that it seems impossible to put enough load on the quarter bolt to prevent the ferrule shifting and that if the ferrule does shift a few times it will become loose and the bearing will then be on the quarter bolt. In order to help this we have lengthened the jaws so as to make it possible to pull up tight on the ferrule. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} R.R. 196 (M) 500. 15.3.(??) M.P. (17554K) | ||
