Hello

On the C-47 control pedestal there is, top left, a plate giving instructions about "Parking lock"
there are around 10 lines of marking and If someone can provide us with the full text of this marking it will help us...

thank you

I found this on a picture and it looks like on the maintenance manuel (which is difficult to read.)

PARKING LOCK
TO PARK, PULL KNOB AND
DEPRESS PEDALS FULLY
RELEASE PEDALS BEFORE
RELEASING KNOB
TO RELEASE LOCK
DEPRESS PEDALS FULLY
PRESSURE GAUGE SHOULD
READ 500 MINIMUM FOR
SATISFACTORY BRAKE
OPERATION

Someone can confirm?
Thanks

Here are images of the plate on our C-47 (42-92277) and our 1941 DC-3 (cn 4089). Different materials, but both read the same.

Many Thanks Andy..
Just a minor correction for me... Gage --- Gauge

Do you have also a placard about the Maximum Velocity indicated??
Which are the two numbers in M.P.H. ?
Thank you for your help
