Scheme for modified cross steering tubes for the Bentley 111, proposing the use of Wraith type ball joints.

BENTLEY 111. CROSS STEERING TUBES.

Please receive herewith the following scheme

F.CD.254 Modified Cross Steering Tubes.

The above drawing shews Wraith type ball joints fitted to Bentley 111.

The Wraith socket forgings may be used to produce the Bentley 111 sockets, these will require machining differently to suit the smaller diameter cross tubes.

The alternative scheme shewing the sockets machined on the outside for lightness should not be detailed at present.
