Re Hand adjustment for Double Rear Brakes. X.60

Na.{Mr Nadin}c. In reply to your sheet 19255 of 6/4/14, please note that the weight of the Foot Brake adjustment for chassis 58NA{Mr Nadin}, complete with Bolts, Nuts, Pull Rods etc. to arrangement drawing G3204 is 4 1/2 lbs.

The above includes levers G3193/4 made as hand forgings, possibly these will be slightly lighter when drop forgings are obtained.

The total weight of the Lil [Later crossed out] type brake adjustment for Double Rear Brakes that the above supersede, complete with Tie Rod ends and rosette is 3 lbs 13 ozs.
