BENSPORT BRAKE ADJUSTMENT.

We send herewith N. sch. 3736. proposed screw adjustment on the foot and hand brake linkage of the Bensport back brakes.

We understand that it is considered that the present front brake adjustment is sufficiently convenient. We intend however to send a suggestion for a screw adjustment for the front brake also.

With reference to N. sch. 3736. it has been necessary to modify the position of the fulcrum brackets for the carrier levers on the sheet metal crossmember in order not to alter the brake XXXXXXX leverage.
