| File 1029 To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/HH. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}14/JH.12.3.40. Foot Brake Linkage L.H. Senior Range. When detailing the foot brake linkages for the L.H. cars of the Senior range shown on PL.98, a small foul was discovered between one of the flanges on the cross of the servo operating the rod. We send herewith 2 prints of PL.141 showing how we propose to overcome this difficulty by modifying the stiffener and at the same time we have taken the opportunity of showing the shape of the hole in the side of the cross to permit the passage of the brake rods and the bell crank lever.
