Coverley - Production Engineer} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/HP.4.10.35. Phantom 3 Rear Brake Linkage. We wish to try oilite bushes in the brake bell crank levers in place of the needle roller bearings now used. N.Sch. 4653 herewith shews the application of the bushes. As the pressure per square inch is well within the limits which oilite appears to stand we should like both hand and foot brakes so fitted. N.Sch.4653 herewith. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
