Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} HDY.{William Hardy} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/HP.17.4.35. 20/25 - Water Excluder on Front Axle. Herewith is N. Sch.4458 shewing the above, as requested in Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}25/KW.8.4.35. We have shewn the modifications which experience has shewn to be desirable, referred to in Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}14/KW.30.3.35. A new cross steering lever is required to clear the excluder. The ball joint on the brake lever is clear as drawn, but if the clearance is insufficient for practical purposes it will be necessary to set the upper brake operating lever a small amount.
