GAE.20 Steering.

Will you please fit a Marles type steering to the above chassis.

The steering should be as standard production except for the following features :-

(1) Malleable iron box.

(2) Roller follower with bearing tracks ground by Messrs. Ransome & Marles, and plain rockershaft pin as on 35-EX and 22-G-V! We will supply the roller follower complete with inner races, distance piece, and 0.250 balls.

(3) Special cam similar to standard except that cutting radius of track is increased. This can be obtained from Mr. Brock and is to Adamant Company's No. M.22299.
