| MARTINDALE. Please supply Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} x30b Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/HP.18.6.36. Brake Sponge - Phantom III. We should like some tests made to see if there is any appreciable deflection in the pedal assembly shaft. The ball end with a rather overhanging ball held in by a long stud, is the point we are particularly interested in. This is in connection with the complaint that the pedal comes down on the boards very soon on the P.III. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
