E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} HDY.{William Hardy} RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Self Aligning Brake Equaliser Shafts.Phantom 10,000 miles car. Herewith is N. Sch.3933 shewing the application of the self-aligning bearings to the P.2.rear brake equaliser shafts on the lines of that recently done for Bentley. As there seems no reason in this case to go to countersunk headed bolts in either differential, we have retained the existing square headed bolts. The sphere-retaining bushes half obscure the lubricating holes but the area still seems ample. In order to get these bushes and the spheres without slots or gashes, we have spread the bracket holding down bolts a small amount on the frame. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
