Bailey - Chief Engineer} X3920 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/LG25.8.21. X.3920 - IMPROVED ROCKER SHAFT FOR 40/50 H.P. STEERING BOX. We have completed 100 hours test on the Bump chassis with the improved rocker shaft in the steering box. This shaft was designed to overcome the few complaints we have had of failures of the present piece. We recommend that it should be standardised. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
