Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /FJH. {Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} 16/KW.7.10.35.

Chassis 6-B-IV.

We wish to try an altered position of the brake pedal stop on chassis 6-B-IV in an attempt to overcome pitting of the floating cams in the off position of the brakes. The attached Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 2180 shows the new stop we require. Will you please detail this and fit to the above chassis. The alterations consist merely of a bent plate, longer stud and 2-B-A bolt.

Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /F.J.Hardy.
