| To Mr. from E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Copy to [illegible text crossed out] EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} X.4253 RE POSITION OF BRAKE LEVER - "GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II". [STAMP: ORIGINAL] [STAMP: RECEIVED 25 FEB 1921] It is desired to move the brake lever handle approximately 2" backward from the position shown on Loc.1351, keeping the brake lever fulcrum position unaltered for "Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II". The dimension actually that should be worked to for this brake lever position is 10" from the dash to the top of the lever, as in sketch. The object of this move is to enable the driver to more easily reach the brake lever with the "D" seat, and to facilitate the removal of the floorboards. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} [Sketch of the brake lever position with a dimension labelled 10"] | ||
