Rem/PWB DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}18/G.21.4.38. A.F.M. PHANTOM III. BRAKE LINKAGE. Works wish to try plain screwed rod, that is not turned down in the centre, on all the brake linakage of P.lll. The non-adjustable fork will be screwed up to the end of its thread, as is now done on the Wraith linkage. A set of these rods should be instructed in connection with the next 10,000 miles car.
