Well now you have me wondering if it is Girling Brake.
The CGB prefix is comonly used in other areas of canadian part numbers. Optics, like the no32 Snipers Telescopes or cases were marked with that prefix when produced in Canada. Canada also used CGB from the original AN part numbers for the Bofors guns. I am sure I have seen that prefix in other areas too. But to look at the Cdn carrier parts manual, I note the GB and CGB prefix is limited to the brake system. Perhaps I stand corrected, and the CGB in the UC parts catalogue is unrelated to the CGB used elswhere in the Canadian system.

I can't be 100% sure, as I am not home and cannot check, but I think I have a housing that is 1936 dated. This must just about predate the carriers as we know them.

Just about there with the brakes system... I have noticed the near side is still dragging, I went to put the gauge back into the bell crank to find it way off the hull... The only thing left that would do this is the short linkage rod that runs horizontal under the gunners feet. I have withdrawn this from the system and it appears that one set of threads is shorter than the other. The entire rod measures 24" exactly. Is this correct length ? I remember Shaun asking if it was original at the time we first bolted everything up, as he was not happy with it. On a plus side the drivers side works perfectly, just starts to catch at 90deg with then nipped up full when full lock applied... Zero drag on release.

Rich, I did a thread called "Control rods. riveted U.C."
In there I identified it as a "transverse" rod It measured 646mm long which included 45mm of thread at each end.
