RE BODY FOR 6 EX.

In dealing with the body for 6 EX. we have had occasion to refer to the forward position of the brake lever.
The dimension between the brake lever in the forward position and the dash for "D" steering on drawing F.6112 is given as 13.625 set in, and 13.750 set out.

On the arrangement of the side lever mechanism "C" and "D" Steering F.3192B, this same dimension is given as 12".

Would you kindly inform us which should be followed.

E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}
