| X. 8430 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M16.7.27. PHANTOM STEERING. Herewith we send N.sch.2431 which is the design of the steering modifications referred to in R5/M14.7.27. including a longer rocker arm with greater area on the nut threads, and a shorter pendulum lever. It will be seen that a new steering box is called for. We endeavoured to use the one instructed for the previous experiment but found that it was impossible. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
