Ha/FJH. {Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} 10/KW.15.11.34.

With the Marles type of steering gear the use of a relatively long pendulum lever, 10.150" in this case, is unavoidable without altering the length of the side steering lever, owing to the limited range of angular movement of the pendulum lever.
