FRONT AXLE AND BRAKES. SECTION 7040.

Please receive herewith one blue print of each of the following :-

G.74.814. Front Axle. 1 off.
G.74.812. Plug. (Axle Pivot). 2 off.

The following parts are also required :-

K.5003. Fibre Washer. 2 off.
F.9772. Enots Lubricator. 2 off.
F.9775. Lubricator Cap. 2 off.

The Plug is required for fitting in the top of the lightening hole in the Axle Pivot, to prevent it becoming clogged up with Mud.

At the moment no provision is made for lubricating the Brake Actuating Shafts which pass through the centre of the Axle, we therefore shew on G.74.814 the hole drilled through the top flange and tapped an 1/8 Gas, to received the Enots Lubricator.

We are sending an alteration through 10049/G to the Axle Pivots G.74.266/7, shewing the position in which the Plug is to be sweated in the lightening hole.

These modifications have been made at the request of Mr. Hancock.
