(7) mounted in the standard manner on a New PhantomCodename for PHANTOM I chassis is a a rather bad boomer. A feature in which the subframe body excells is the relief of the passengers from the chassis vibrations. It is almost impossible to tell whether the chassis be rough or smooth whilst the usual tremmer which is felt when running over stone sets is absent. (see C9/CI.II.24.) | ||
