Rear Brake Intermediate Shaft - Phantom III . The construction shown on M.Sch.4762 for the servo countershaft should be applied to the intermediate shaft as although somewhat heavier it has the advantage that the brackets are held at the correct distance apart for endwise clearance, and cannot bind on the shaft,due to insufficient clearance. It will also now be possible to make the brackets identical pieces by drilling two extra holes in each bracket. E/HDY.{William Hardy} | ||
