| COPY. 4962 COPY. R10.B.1.9.13. R to Mr.Day. Copy for Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} " " J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Re Accelerator Pedal for Wider Side Channels. X.695. I return herewith Blue Print No. F.3654. Please see my remarks thereon, viz., " Rect. near boss, changing to oval then to round." " Not H section". " Anywhere but oval ". " Crib a bit here ". " ½" Rectan or oval ". " Must be good section here for torsion ". " Can we arrange stop here or here so as not to strain section near the boss." The pedal plate might more economically be made of rolled section or separate dropped forging and rivetted to lever forging. As it is it does not seem a very practical forging.
