Back Axle Bevel Pinion - Phantom III. On N.Sch.4782 herewith we show an increased radius at the junction of the roller bearing journal and the body of the pinion. The distance washer must be radiused to suit the pinion radius, and will no doubt sometimes be somewhat slack diametrically, but we do not think that this will matter. N.Sch.4782 herewith.
