Many times I have pressed hard for a scheme of plain thrust in the steering column with journal ball bearings support, temporary or a thoroughly good job, either is desirable, but it must be quickly done. This is not to add friction to the steering, but to render it less reversi- ble. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
