Bailey - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}4/MH.{M. Huckerby}15.6.38. B.III & B.50 STEERING. We wish to try the improved steering geometry shown on PD.199/200/201/205. Will you please detail the necessary parts for rigging this up temporarily. The side levers should be made from rectangular bar and the backward facing arm of the existing centre steering lever can be extended by a piece bolted to the existing ball pin holes. In order to use the existing torque arms we are prepared to reduce the lock. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} | ||
