We suggest that a rubber washer be threaded on the pedal holder shank to stop the pedal against the face of the packing box on the under side of the pedal plate. This would be identical with the rubber stop recently adopted on Wraith to limit the downward movement. With regard to Wraith, the first hundred sets have already been ordered, but this could be brought on the next series, thereby effecting a saving in cost on the existing rubber stop, also the milling and drilling ops. on the pedal plate for attachment of the stops, would be eliminated. The same scheme could be applied to Bentley III and 50. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/NRC.{N. R. Chandler} | ||
