GEAR LEVER 'C' STEERING. ------------------------------------- With reference to CWB15/GM/25.11.27. the length of the change gear lever fitted to 'C' steering Phantoms is now the same length as used with 'B' type, as a matter of fact it is the same lever. The increase in length, however, is 2½". In view of the above, the length of lever shown for 'C' steering on blueprint F.77442 is the same as for 'B' steering, but the position of the 'C' type lever has not been altered and has always been in the same position in relation to the dash as 'B' type in the present design of side lever mechanism.
