With reference to our memo' BY/HEB{H. Biraben}18/M16.2.28, it should be noted that the Side Steering Tube therein, is only suitable for Chassis up to the end of "F2" Series, i.e. before Axle Control Dampers were fitted.

A slight modification is necessary to the Tube to suit the Axle Control Damper.

These are the parts it was proposed to bring in on Production at "F-2-B" Series, but which have since been superseded by 10.000" Pendulum Lever and a new Side Steering Tube.
