CHASSIS 41-MC.

With reference to Hm {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} /WSB2O/EW. 20.8.26. referring to the question of the broken brake lever, from the front axle, the data supplied is hardly sufficient to enable one to come to any decision. In a matter of this kind one would like to have had the other piece of the broken lever, that is, the ball itself at least, and possibly the coupling itself.

I am making a test to satisfy myself that the carburising and hardening has been correctly carried out. This is as far as I can go with the data submitted.
