40/50 FRONT WHEEL BRAKES. ~~Autocar~~

We send herewith N.scheme 1348 shewing the top steering lever modified to be of the same type as we have recently done for Goshawk.

It will be seen that it means a new stub axle pivot and a new top steering lever but the pieces are otherwise unaltered.

Mr. Royce thinks that you may have got too far with the lever shewn on N. scheme 1317 to change now, and suggests that you might make both, and we might subsequently choose the one we like best.
