STEERING COLUMN. Please receive herewith the following scheme :- F.CD.1316 Mod. to Steering Column Head. The above scheme shews the B.5. steering column head modified from F.CD.1262 by using Bentley II type control knobs and a different method of lettering. This has been done at the Experimental Department's request, in order that the appearance of the steering wheel head shall differ from the Silver Ripple and Wraith 80. Please instruct experimentally. The steering column head to F.CD.1262 still holds good for Silver Ripple 1.R.1. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
