| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to BJ. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M31.12.27. X5380 X5420 INDIA3. BRAKE MECHANISM. We send herewith N. schs. 2532. & 2533., which shew an alternative arrangement for the carrier levers, having the advantage that the angular motions of the cables are reduced a little. The disadvantages are the slightly increased loads in the linkage in front of the cables, and the modified drilling of the cross member arms. We think however that it will be preferred to N. Sch. 2527., and suggest that it should be gone on with until we hear to the contrary. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
