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 WW. sample of worn bracket. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} (Watermark: MADE AT CROXLEY) | ||
