We have found that we can effect a considerable improvement in wandering of the steering by better lubrication of the bottom pivot bearing. We have done this by altering the present washer G.51848 so that the lubrication grooves are similar to G.100369. Will you please issue a drawing of a new 25/30 HP. washer, so that we can send out a Depot Sheet for this modification. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
