| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. 48470 BJ6/H29.12.24. CLUTCH AND BRAKE PEDALS FOR 'V' SERIES. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG22.12.24. I am not quite clear with regard to your memorandum, and what is your suggestion. Please let us know (a) what type of clutch pedal will be fitted to 'V' series. Will it be 64 lbs? (b) what type of clutch pedal will be fitted to 'W' series. Will this also be 64 lbs? (c) When you recommend that we go ahead with both types of pedals for 'V' series, does this mean that we should make duplicate types of pedals, one of 46 lbs. and one of 64 lbs for the 100 'V' chassis? If so, will the 100 sets not used on 'V' be used on 'W', no matter which of the two is used on 'V'? (d) Will the brake pedal on 'V' and 'W' be the same as on the present 40/50? If not, how will it vary in regard to pressure required, or position, please? B.J. [Faint Stamp in background: CRICKLEWOOD MOTOR WORKS] | ||
