The [Blueprint Diagram Text] Left Side (Silver Ghost): 2° 30' 5° ℄ WHEEL VERTICAL ℄ PIVOT SILVER GHOST .554 Right Side (Phantom): 2° 30' 6° ℄ WHEEL VERTICAL ℄ PIVOT PHANTOM .616 appended sketches show that the pivot arrangements of the Silver Ghost and Phantom are very similar We believe that still further improvements may be possible in the directions indicated, which will enable low pressure tyres to be fitted and the present standard of steering maintained. (f) Position for low speed wobbles. There is no reason why any Rolls-Royce car should suffer from low speed wobbles if it is in a standard condition. We get our self-centering with less backward pivot lean than the majority of cars. (g) Position for high speed wobbles. As we have previously pointed out, the size and high contd. | ||
