| +4265 ER. Wom. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY18/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 13. 6. 24. 20 HP. STEERING. We criticised the W.W. design in connection with the lubrication of the ball joint on the side steering tube when we received it in the first place. We reiterated this criticism when we received the E.A.C. scheme in a similar state, pointing out what in our opinion was the best way to deal with the matter. We are producing some drawings covering the proposals I made originally in this connection, which we intend to hand over to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} for testing. Our proposals will include an improved lubrication of the ball also lubrication of the sliding members. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
