CWB. was anxious to try the new type change gear levers arranged somewhat differently. The point he brought forward was that whilst "B" and "D" were satisfactory, "C", in the opinion of Sales was rather on the short side. He wished to have "B" type lever fitted up in "C" position. This means that we should use Change Gear Lever G.74341, Reverse trigger G.72994, but fit them up in the angular position suitable for a "C" type steering. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
