We find we require wing nuts of the new type to have .240 lift front and rear to get the required brake clearance. This gives more clearance than the existing scheme, but will more nearly meet the Test Dept's requirements. The movements at the end of the usual levers will be about .4375 and .650 front and rear respectively. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
