PHANTOM III STEERING. It is proposed to fit bakelite ball pads to the cross steering tube joints of a number of customers cars. For this purpose we require an arrangement drawing of the ball joint showing the bakelite pads to EXS.154 and G.83415 and the special washer EXS.155. The drawing should also show that the ball pin and the interior of the housing adjacent to the upper ball pad should be polished. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev.
