X9910 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} S E C R E T. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/LG27. 6. 24. FOUR WHEEL BRAKES. X9910 X9910 We recommend that the Works do not get too far ahead with the levers on the small countershaft with the pick-up dogs. Experiments shew that these levers can be solid with the shaft. You already have a N.sch. for this. We shall have to carry out further tests before we definitely recommend using the simpler scheme. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
