RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Herewith is N. Sch. 4513 shewing a system of lubrication on the pivot pin bearings and thrust bearing, instead of that now fitted to SpectreCodename for Phantom III 2, which does not seem to pass enough oil to the lower bearing. It is not certain that the plain bearing thrust is required, but if it is, this arrangement should be used. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
