| 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 + 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 showing force P at 20" RAD. and Load W. Table of values: LOAD W. lbs. | Effort P. | EFFICIENCY % 1200 | 14.05-15.2 | 76.5 - 70.6 900 | 10.15-10.95 | 79.4 - 73.7 600 | 6.25-7.02 | 86 - 76.4 300 | 3.125-3.52 | 86 - 76.4 | ||
