Dal/M10.4.22. GOSHAWK II. SHOCK ABSORBER CONNECTING ROD. X.4329 X.4400. Please receive N.sch.1250 shewing the shock absorber connecting rod made on the lines of the 40/50. We have put the "Enots" lubricator approximately in the centre of the rod so as to equally lubricate each ball. It will be observed that the lower ball end is slightly shorter, though the boss in the front axle is the same. The top ball end since the lubricator is no longer required in the stem is made of the simple form shewn, the nut locked by riveting. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
