Through this sleeve passesthe shaft of the universal joint which, of course, tarnswith the driven member; but, since this shaft does nottouch he sleeve, no bearing is required between them andthe thrust of the spring is taken against the casing makes the extra bearing used in the Borg & Beck andthe Hoosier types unnecessary. Spring pressure can bevaried by turning the threaded sleeve, against which it 1306 AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRIESTHE AUTOMOBILE June 10, 1021.
