| TO FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M23.7.26. EAC.7. REAR BRAKES. Y7360 Y7380 Herewith we send N. scheme 2232. shewing the modifications to the rear brake operating gear and frame gussets, which are needed to allow the hydraulic shock dampers to be fitted. The majority of the pieces on the axle have been modified to some extent, including a slight alteration to the machining of the tube. As we previously advised we have had to alter the gusset to give clearance for the battery, and we have pushed the position shewn on N. scheme 2207. back .5". The lower gusset and carrier levers are now deleted, but will be replaced if found desirable by experiment. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
