MARTINDALE Comments please Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Phantom III - Hand Brake Adjustment, etc. Herewith are N.Sch's 4718 and 4725. The former shows a revised hand brake adjustment, making adjustment easier, where required, and also providing a means of preventing the whole of the adjustment being taken up inadvertently. We also show retaining rings on the ball ends of the operating rods to prevent them coming out of the levers. This applies to both hand and foot brakes. N.Sch.4725 is a special spanner for the hand brake adjustment. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
