We have a number of levers and cams for the S.S. Braking system that have been tried on various experiments. Now we have for the time being standardised a brake layout, we should like to make sure that the various expl. levers and cams are retained in a box in the Stores and not scrapped as we are almost certain to require them again.
Parts available.

G.76646 - " " 1.750" long.
G.77394/5 Cams 30°, 35° and 40°

Will you please let us have a list of the parts you send to the Stores.
