E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hives. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} SpectreCodename for Phantom III - Hand Brake Linkage. Herewith is N. Sch.4546 which shews the hand brake intermediate shaft dropped in position so that the foot wells of the recently introduced continental type of saloon with a division may be carried back practically to the cross member. This will be wanted on some of the show cars and EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} can probably say which ones. There is also shewn a stay between the inner end of the intermediate shaft and the cross in the frame to reduce still further the sponge in the hand brake operation, because of the reduced travel of the hand brake lever.
