Herewith we send N. sch. 3152. - Plan View of the above.

It will be noticed that the inspection cover on the L.H. side has been reduced in dia.

It will also be noticed that we shew here the vacuum control cylinder in the revised position.

We also send N. sch 3170. shewing the pedals, and also indicating the new position for the vacuum cylinder, which it will be seen is exactly the same as when on the L.H. side, but handed except for the operating valve which has been transferred bodily across.
