'PHANTOM' RADIATOR SUPPORT.

We find that we get excessive wear on the sphere supporting the radiator on the Phantom. The radiator has * increased in weight considerably since this design was first got out. We recommend the bearing surfaces should be increased considerably.

We are sending to W.W. sample of worn bracket.
