J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 3. BRAKE LINKAGE.

We send herewith N.Schs.3379/80. shewing the brake linkage to the rear brakes.

It will be seen that though many of the existing pieces are used slight modifications to the lengths of the levers are necessary.

We also propose to use the same differentials throughout.

We have maintained the braking leverages the same as now. If Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} wants anything different would he let us know.
