Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/DB.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}5/ET.6.5.41. LUBRICATION PENDULUM - IDLER LEVER BALL JOINTS MYTH STEERING PL.666, the original of which is attached to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH's copy, shows the lubrication of the pendulum and idler lever ball joints on the Myth steering. The scheme modifies the forgings of the pendulum and idler levers, by the addition of bosses and drilling from those shown on PL.448. Tecalemit oil resisting rubber hose is drawn, but here as in the case of PL.544, the type of flexible hose finally used will depend on the behaviour of this Tecalemit hose and its price in relation to alternative types. The same hose and brackets are used on both sides of the car. Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/LB. Original to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH.
