| I cannot see that we can do anything or blame anybody, but take care that the combination does not occur again. I have not heard what types were on the Back wheel. Apparently the car was still being steered when it was hit exhibits - B.A. and all through W. Grells & Com Briggs: Stupido! Hisso steering is very like our Dis considered the best car about our size. The only thing I can possibly suggest is to replace the mechanical friction on the front axle with more constant hydraulic, re release valves each way set for a given lbs (say 25) on the steering wheel and one of the new by-passes for slower movements R [Text in left margin, written vertically]: proper lubrication like even you have seen oil at an oilhead opened & our carbon surface lubricate | ||
