Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X7310 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}4/28.8.28. RE. BRAKE COUNTERSHAFT ON THE GEARBOX. X.7310 X.7420 We send herewith N.sch.2686 shewing the cantilever bearing on the gearbox made as forgings instead of being pieced up. We wish to make this change on both sides of the box, because we believe that the forged piece will be cheaper to produce, and the off-side cantilever can be made to form the anchor for the brake pedal pull off spring.
