I. TYPE AND DESCRIPTION
The steering gear is of the cam and lever
type with a ran0 of
12 to 1. The rocker shaft
travel should be limited to 33" either side of
the mid point of the
cam by the steering
lock stops and this
will allow the steering
wheel to travel approximately
24 turns from
lock to lock. The
cam takes the form of a
spiral, whilst the lever carries a conical
shaped peg which engages in this
cam.
As the conical peg does not reach the bottom
of the spiral
cam the depth of engagement
can be adjusted. This is effected by a
hardened steel setscrew mounted on the top
cover, the screw when turned clockwise con-
tacts the lever's upper face and holds the
conical peg in engagement with the
cam.
The steering gear is a self contained and oil
tight unit. The

F. Nut
to the inner column which in
turn is
mounted on caged ball bearings immediately
above and below the
cam, with a graphite
impregnated bearing at its other end.
The lever, to which the conical shaped peg
is attached, is an integral part of the rocker
shaft assembly and the latter is mounted in
a plain bearing, the bore has an oil seal fitted
at its lower extremity. The shaft which
protrudes through the case is
splined to
receive the drop
arm.
The stator tube which carries the control
wires of the electric horn and flashing indi-
cators is held in position by the bottom
cover plate, a gland nut and an olive, the
latter also provides an oil tight seal.
The unit is attached to the chassis frame by
a trunnion bracket at its lower end and
braced in the body of the
car to the facia
panel.
