Bailey - Chief Engineer}[Strikethrough] Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Martindale. [Handwritten below] Jix [Underlined]Phantom III Brakes.[Underlined] Confirming our conversation of yesterday in respect to the above, I am attaching herewith blueprints of N.Sch.4915 and N.Sch.4910 showing respectively the brake stop and modifications to the brake bell crank. Memo E/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}6/MN.29.9.36 sets out the position very clearly. The move we want to get on and test forthwith for immediate application to production is the incorporation of the brake stop N.Sch.4915, and the shortening of the bosses of the bell crank lever to N.Sch.4904, blueprint of which we also attach. We should be glad if you would instruct two sets to enable one experimental car to be rigged up, and one set for Ex. to put on a production car. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
