Herewith we send N.sch.2250 shewing the mounting of the rear brake differential on the gearbox cross member, the hand brake differential etc.
It will be observed that we have altered the line of the pull from the servo.
We have also altered the present bracket for carrying the gearbox, and slightly altered the lever on the hand brake shaft.
We may say that this arrangement is only suitable for the proposed Mechanic's joint. If the universal joint is changed at some future date it may be necessary to go over the scheme again.
