Hanbury - Head Complaints} 13.8.25. -------------- The special combined side and cross steering lever set forward 100 on its outer centre, and the modifications to the pivots which were shewn on the same N.Scheme, are to be left in the hands of the Experimental Dept. that is, instructed experimentally only. There are too many changes in section and apparently in stiffness, to justify us bringing these in without the Experimental Dept.first completing endurance tests on the matter. The present scheme should therefore go on for the whole of "G" Series as well as "F". The arrangement referred to is that outlined on N.Schemes 1291 and 1995. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
