'SS{S. Smith}' SIDE STEERING TUBE. X.7450 X.7410 X.7380

Herewith we send N.sch.2567 shewing the layout of the steering, side steering tube, front end of frame etc.

We have kept the geometry as perfect as possible.

It will be noticed that the axle is dropped about .750" and there is a further drg. in connection with this point.

It will be seen that this drg. gives you final instructions with reference to the front spring, and front and rear anchorages of the front spring.

With reference to the ball joints we have assumed that they will be like N.sch.2301., though we have had no report as to these. In any case it will be possible to use any type of joint which we have so far instructed for Phantom or Eac.7.
