[Handwritten signature] RAA [Handwritten] GRY{Shadwell Grylls} [Handwritten] Follow up please [Handwritten signature] Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Isolated Gear Lever - BENTLEY. N.Sch.4375 herewith shows the bracket for the support of the gear lever and gate. We have provided a packing plate for vertical adjustment but so far have not shown any means for lateral or fore and aft adjustment so that, as things stand, the holes in the frame must be drilled to suit each car. The stiffener for the frame should be of the simple type shown to begin with. If anything better is required it can easily be provided later. We attach a print to RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}'s copy of this memo. HDY.{William Hardy} Att: N.Sch.4375. | ||
