We attach to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH's. copy the original of - PL.811. Starting handle. The above scheme shews a starting handle for the Myth chassis, it will be noticed that the cranked portion is in front of the bumpers. This makes it a fairly long shaft and as there is about 10" unsupported length we have made it .750 dia. similar to the B.V. It will be necessary for Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG. to find a suitable place for storing it away when not in use. EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames} | ||
