We send herewith N.Sch.4903 showing an earthing contact for the front hubs of Bentley, 25/30 and Phantom III cars. It is intended that the steel plug is driven into the end of the stub axle and drilled in position for the split pin. It is proposed to case harden and grind the contact surface. The sheet brass pressing is pushed into the wheel cap and at the moment it is not proposed to sweat it into position, but this may be necessary if a perfect contact cannot be established without.
