HANDBRAKE - MYTH ---------------- PL.450, the original of which is attached to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH's copy, shows the forward position of handbrake for Myth. The scheme is not to be detailed as the type of handbrake decided on is the one along-side the seat, which is shown in a later scheme. If this scheme should ever be detailed, the pawl mechanism should be brought into line with that shown on PL.504.
