| to HE. From DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} copy to MOTOR. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RE BRAKE COUNTERSHAFT ON THE GEARBOX. X7310/X7420 We send herewith N.Sch. 2686. shewing the cantilever bearing on the gearbox made as forgings instead of being pieced up. We wish to make this change on both sides of the box, because we believe that the forged piece will be cheaperto produce, and the off-side cantilever can be made to form the anchor for the brake pedal pull off spring.
