| (2) REDUCTION OF FRICTION. Although we do not think that the control stirrup has much to do with the friction in the gear we should like to see a bronze stirrup tried. We should like it in bronze in order that the gear may work as freely as possible. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/HDY.{William Hardy} | ||
