| P.3. To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}/MJ.15.12.32. BRAKES 3 PER.11. We regret that there has been an error in the brake layout we have asked for on this car. We should like the front equaliser levers to the ropes to be to Ex.9785, 1.230 cts.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} and the servo levers in the rear equaliser to be to Ex.9784, 3.140 cts.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} These are at present fitted to the car. The only new lever required is the direct lever in the rear equaliser which was to G.100958 and should be altered to 3.400 cts.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} and also drilled at 2.750 cts.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} so that alternative amounts of direct braking can be tried. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/H.Grylls. | ||
