X 8568 DAG/CB20-12-20. Re "Goshawk" Brake Gear. Please receive herewith two blue prints of Led.1321 shewing the revised Brake Actuating Gear on the rear axle on "Goshawk". It will be seen that new brake shafts are called for, and some slight modifications in the brake gear itself, while the bracket and lever at the inner end are quite different. It is suggested that details of this gear should be put in hand with a view to substituting for the gear now on "Goshawk" at the same time that new axle tubes are provided to avoid the springs striking the brake shafts. Please put details in hand with a view to changing the present gear on the Goshawk for this, as soon as it is made. DEC 22 1920 DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} RECEIVED | ||
