| X.3418. Extract from R4/G261118. RE 1000 - 40/50 H.P. CHASSIS z We have also shewn another form of joint, but this is in the experimental stage, and could not at the moment be considered for these cars. We fear, however, that even the improved one of the present design is still slightly defective, as one of the brasses (why not case-hardened steel ?) forming one of the bearing pads cannot be gripped after adjusting. It is not however, likely to cause an accident. | ||
