| Re Short Hand Levers. TRH3/L27912. Mr Nadin. Mr Bailey. 27.9.12. Please note that Mr Platford reports that the above brake lever is somewhat awkward to handle when in its 'on' position and the body is in the way of the drivers arm. Will Mr Bailey please go into the matter and consider whether it is necessary to modify the lever in any way or whether the body can be arranged suitably to render these levers convenient. I understand from Mr Platford that Mr Royce offers no objection to the use of this type of lever. | ||
