E.A.C. SERVO. X.9940
Mr. Day is finishing the supplementary levers in
connection with the servo, and the scheme of braking that we
are finally adopting is the RRM. Des. 60.
We think the whole arrangement round the servo
is now very cleam in design and the units are all workable
pieces and as simple and perfect as we know how to make them.
