Brake Rod Return Spring Confusion
The description and photo of the Brake Rod Return Springs in the 7-8 Revised 2011 of the Standards has some slight confusion within.
The confusion lies in the verbage of the Service Brake Rod Springs.
Within the verbage of the text it states that #2 was used from May 1928 through September 1928, that it was tapered with an open end and made of 19 or 20 gauge steel.
In the photo, it shows that #2 has a closed end and the verbage beneath the photo states that #2 was used from December 1927 through mid 1928.
#1 has a open end and used from May 1928 through September 1928.
Will someone in the know please set the story stright on the first two generation Service Brake Return Springs?
Thanks.
Pluck
