| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Y5420 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M20.12.27. INDIA 3. BRAKE LINKAGE. X.5420 K.5380 Herewith we send N.sch.2526 - full sized layout of the brake linkage with the tubular cross member. We have endeavoured to use as many of the existing pieces - such as brake differentials etc. - as possible, but the forward position of the tubular cross member compels us to modify the brackets and the levers. The side levers are those suitable for the subframe. We also send N.sch.2527 - carrier levers at the other side of the cross - and N.sch.2528 - half sized general layout of the brake linkage.
