1153. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Hdy.{William Hardy} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}13/R.20.7.39. Small Gearbox - Rationalised Programme. This is to confirm that after considering the progress which has recently been made on non-servo operated brakes, we are satisfied that provided the heaviest car in the Junior Rationalised range does not weigh more than 30 cwts. we can dispense with the servo on this gearbox. We believe that this simplifies the selector mechanism, and shall be glad, therefore, if advantage can be taken of the design at present in hand. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
