| X512 SECRET. To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. Der. Er. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}3/HP.8.4.32. Side Levers - J.3 and Per. We think the position of the Knobs should stand as set out on the schemes, at least for the moment. We agree that the gear lever cross shaft be raised as suggested on both these cars, and that the quadrant be moved out over the side member of the frame as far as possible, leaving a reasonable clearance between the end of the gear lever shaft, and the hand brake lever when the former is in 3rd or top gear.
