BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X1930 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M4.12.30. P. 2. BRAKE GEAR. Herewith we send N. sch. 3182. shewing the proposed brake shoes with pivoted ends for the purpose of preventing squeaks. They go on to the present brake anchorage, and the operating gear is unaltered. we are not certain of the exact quantities, that is to say, the force of the spring, and the length of the supplementary shoes. we believe that Derby have some experience of these.
