It has been suggested that considerable difficulty is experienced in removing the Pendulum Steering Lever from the Taper Serrations on its shaft, and that a modification is therefore required to facilitate this operation. Will you kindly express your views regarding:- (1) The difficulty experienced in removing the Pendulum Lever, assuming, of course, reasonable workshop facilities are available. (2) The desirability of incorporating a modification such as the withdrawing device fitted, for example, to the Bevel Pinion in the Rear Axle. Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} Bn{W.O.
