| X.5940 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M22.6.26. INDIA - FRONT BRAKE DIFFERENTIAL. Herewith we send Mech.2216 shewing the modifications to the Front brake differential to suit the new undershield on LeC.2253 with the improved ground clearance. A new casting for the clutch pit is required with the boss in the raised position, but the dimensions are the same as now. We have used the same wheels in the differential. The ratio of the leverages is the same as that on the general arrangement, viz. 1/1. If this is not now correct the forged levers should be shortened and not the sheetmetal lever lengthened.
