PHANTOM STEERING. X8430 X3682 Some time ago, we asked you to get out a scheme for fitting the shortest possible pendulum lever to the Phantom. The object of this was mainly to help Springfield with their parking troubles. We should be obliged if you could send a set of the prints of this scheme to OY. Experimentally, here, we do not wish to make a set of the parts until we have tried out the new 900 lead worm. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
