Isolated Gear Lever - Phantom III. We show on H.Sch.4765 herewith a stop to prevent the inner ball cage from moving out of position when the lever is moved sideways against the gate as can be made to occur at present on the 20/25. This drawing also shows the change lever shaft bored out at the end for increased clearance round the central shaft. This shaft is to have a reduced bore at the lever end as shown. This modification can be applied at the next convenient opportunity whereas the previous modification should be made to existing pieces if any are already made. N.Sch.4765 herewith.
