| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} x 200 a 4 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.11/KW.10.2.36. 6-B-IV. We understand that there has never been a proper detail drawing showing the modifications to the clutch operating cross shaft necessary to give the correct angularity when cantilever pedals to N.Sch.4156 are used. In the previous cases of 5-B-IV and B-23-AE the necessary modifications were made in the shop without drawings. In view of the congestion in G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Dept. we suggest that a scheme is prepared in this department to show the correct position of the keyway, using a Borg & Beck clutch to GB.2099 and cantilever pedals to N.Sch.4156.
