| BY/ATWD c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X206. BY.9/G.1.6.33. BENTLEY - RE BRAKE SYSTEM. I have finally decided to make the following changes as recommended by Experimental Department. (1). Alter lever to rear axle from 2.325 to 1.875. (2). Change the leverage of the toggle on the brake lever from .325 to .365. (3). Reduce the heads of the rivets in the brake shoes from .0625 to .050. This leaves the serrations in the adjusting discs at 60. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
