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.
