C RRY +350 SpectreCodename for Phantom III Steering Column - Lubrication of Pendulum Lever Ball End. Herewith is N.Sch.4579 shewing a method of carrying the centralised lubrication to the pendulum lever ball end, by means of a spring gland between the rocker shaft and the steering box cover, the tube in the rocker shaft being now pressed in an oil tight job. This is to overcome the leakage of oil from the box reported from France. N.Sch.4579 herewith. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
