| SILVER GHOST(1907 40/50 historic RAC 15,000 miles trial) TYPE NUT & WORM - 1.125 LEAD. The following table gives the loads and corresponding efforts required to give efficiencies the same as laid down for the new .720 lead nut and worm. Actually the efficiency with the increased lead should be higher but the high efficiency is not so essential with the more reversible steering. [DIAGRAM LABELS] P 20" RAD.
