. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. Figure 74. — Steering wheel, column, and gear box of Winton "Bullet No. ; hand system now lacks the brake rods and one of the bands. A ratchet and pawl holds the hand brake engaged. The rear-axle gearing is completely enclosed within a bronze housing, and the axle shafts are within tubular steel housings. The bevel gears and the differential ran in lubri- cant. The driving gear has 35 and the driven gear 37 teeth, very nearly a 1-to-l ratio. A divided truss rod beneath the differential housing helps support it. Semielliptic springs, with full shackles at each end, attach the axle housing to the frame. Radius rods at each side connect the housing to the sides of the frame, while two torque arms to the right of the gear housing are connected to the transmission right rear support arm. The transmission is connected to the rear-axle gearing by a short telescoping drive shaft with a universal joint at front and rear. The two pieces are keyed together to allow the smaller diameter shaft at the rear to slide backward or forward within the hollow front portion. The front axle is a solid steel forging with a kick-up at each end. It is held in place by two semielliptic springs with full shackles at their rear ends. Spindles on the ends of the axle are connected by a tie rod. The aluminum steer- ing gear housing (fig. 74) contains a double-threaded worm and sector (fig. 75), the pitman arm of which is connected to the right spindle by a long drag link. The steering wheel has four spokes and a hub of bronze. The spring hangers for the six full shackles of the four springs are also bronze. The four wooden-spoked wheels carried clincher tires 22 inches in inside diameter. The wheelbase is 98 inches and the tread 56 inches. 95.
