| REP. 112(1) Re Steering Gear TBB6/L1412. x963 Mr Spinney 1.4.12. Will you kindly get out a scheme for testing the steering gear of every chassis. The scheme suggested is that the hand wheel should be turned by hand against a suitable arrangement of spring balance attached to the near side road wheel until a certain definite load is reached. This load will of course be a little less than that at which the side rod will collapse. 529 REF TO BE ON ALL REPLIES | ||
