Coverley - Production Engineer} x350 Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 1/HP.20.9.35. SECRET Phantom 3 Steering Pivots. Further to our Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 1/HP.18.9.35, it is not now desired to put the phosphor bronze bottom steering pivot bush on Spectre(Codename for Phantom III) 2 for France but on another car for purposes of experimental testing, before trying it in France. The bushes on Spectre(Codename for Phantom III) 2 should be casehardened nickel steel following the standard practice on all our other cars. Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
