| COPY, To By from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} X862 Re "Set out" Change Speed Levers. Mr Johnson we believe refers to current cars when he says that the Agents wish the "Set out" Change Speed Levers shall be set out a little more. This must mean both levers, which I understand is not very often requisitioned by any of the Coach Builders, if this is so I suppose we cannot do this better than by using an aluminium packing between the drop forging that carries the gate and the brake segment and the frame. Bending levers are of course out of the question. I cannot understand, however, that any Coach Builders now demand that the change speed lever shall be set out, though I can understand that the brake lever may be required still more.
