22 May 10 The following image shows the white metalled nut in
the Swift Steering Box. The 4-start square thread poses a challenge if the
nut needs to be restored due to wear. The benefit of casting white metal around
the male shaft (or undersize dummy) rather than machining is clear. Was
the original finished with a tap or could it be done with the actual shaft (a
perfect zero clearance fit); what do you think? Please email me at

A website visitor has a spanner embossed with SWIFT (see image). The sizes are: 5" long, 1/4Whit and 1/8 stepped to 3/16Whit.
We are keen to learn of the intended use; was it for sewing machines, cycles or cars?
