Secret. ------ X8070 CJ. c. Ry. c. Rem. c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ------ BYLL/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 21.5.25. ------------ AUTHORISATION SHEET NO. 10. - "INDIA" PLUS F.W.B. ------------------------------------------------- We have received a modification to the brake pedal gear on "India" plus FWB. by which a stop is introduced to limit the position of the pedal in its "off" position. The parts in question are necessary and have been supplied because Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} pointed out that such a stop is necessary to the design. It will mean producing two parts in sheet metal work. In an emergency, a certain number of these can be prepared by hand. This does not affect "India", but only "India" plus F.W.B. BY.{R.W.
