mounted on the side member on the frame instead
of in the transmission as formerly. On the Series
10 and 20 cars, both the clutch and brake pedals are
mounted on a bracket inside of the frame side
member as shown in Fig. 20, while on all other cars
the clutch pedal is mounted outside of the frame
side member as shown in Fig. 21. The new locations
of the clutch pedal stop screws are clearly
shown in these views.
Service operations on the clutch are the same as
on the "C" series cars. The clutch release rod and
v pedal stop adjustments also remain unchanged.

, Cooling System
The cooling system is essentially the same as on
the corresponding "C" Series cars; however,
several minor changes have been made.
The new fan is of the five blade asymmetrical
type, designed to operate without objectionable
noise. In other words the blades are not evenly
spaced but staggered around the fan hub as shown
in Fig. 22. The fans in all the new cars run in ball
bearings (See Fig. 23) and are mounted in practically
the same manner as on the 370-C and 452-C
engines.
