S.S. REAR BRAKE CAMSHAFTS+ X. 7090

Herewith we send N.sch.2821 shewing the
chauffeurs adjustment ends of the camshafts adopted
to the EAC.14 scheme.

It will be seen that we ask for an alteration
to the pressing carrying the camshafts off the axle.

We appreciate that it may not be possible for
you to adapt the EAC.14 scheme to the SS.{S. Smith} back axle at
first as possibly you have pieces already made or in process
of being made. If this is so we suggest that we should
adapt the EAC.7. brake carrier to give the proposed mud
shields, and this we have done on N.sch.2822 herewith. All
we ask for here are modifications to the camshaft bearing
brackets which we think should be possible.
