Coverley - Production Engineer} Hdv. Water Excluder - Bentley Front Axle. On N. Sch.4476, herewith, we have combined the various modifications to the water excluder for the 12" drums which have been found by experience to be desirable. As the result is a simplification of the stationary screen pressing this arrangement should be used when ordering up the new excluders. We should like the cross steering lever modifying, when possible, so avoiding cutting away the screen as is necessary with the existing lever. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
