| TO BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to -DJ. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL PHANTOM - FRICTION IN FRONT AXLE PIVOTS. X8420 Herewith we send N. sch. 2254. shewing the arrangement of extra friction in the pivots of the new front axle. The pivot forging is unaltered but a new bottom cap forging is required. We have also increased the dia. of the pivot pin at the bottom reducing the thickness of the bush. If this alteration causes any difficulty perhaps you would tell us as it is not essential to the scheme. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
