Smith} " STEERING - PENDULUM LEVER. X. 7430 X. 7420 We send herewith N.sch.2600 shewing the new design of damped pendulum lever with leaf springs; The leaf springs should be arranged with the least amount of set-up load possible, so as to make the movement of the lever in the central position as free as possible. It is intended to remove a good deal of the friction off the front axle when this scheme is tried, and we shall send you instructions in due course. DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
