Hanbury - Head Complaints} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hsy. RMC. Front Suspension - SpectreCodename for Phantom III. Inclined Unequal Link System. Herewith is N. Sch.4033 showing the modifications to the yoke piece brake operation etc. required to apply the Cadillac type of suspension, with unequal links inclined to the axes of the wheels. The yoke piece differs in shape, the attachment of the steering lever is different and there is a change in the position of the brake operating lever. But otherwise, as far as the hub wheel steering pivots, brake gear etc. are concerned, it is intended to follow N. Sch.4015. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
