SHOCK DAMPER - N. SCH. 3405. X 837
On this sch. we/have shewn a non spring loaded gland because you have said that/you thought it would be satisfactory. The object is/to cheapen the shaft and lever assembly by clamping on the lever, and also to gain some room.
If you have/any more information about it now would you please let us know.
