| FILES X346 26.4.35. Rear Seat Ride - SpectreCodename for Phantom III. ------------------------ In connection with the sideways shake experienced in the back seats of SpectreCodename for Phantom IIIs 1 and 2, we tried spherical shackle pins located sideways by rubber bushes to allow freedom of movement of the rear axle. This effected a considerable improvement. We have therefore determined the stiffness sideways of the rear springs and anchorages on the Cadillac, SpectreCodename for Phantom III and Phantom. The Cadillac car is free from this unpleasant feature in the rear seats, as is also the Phantom. Attached are figures of the results. We are fitting to a SpectreCodename for Phantom III chassis rubber shackles exactly like those on the Cadillac. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
