DURING EASTER & DESPATCHED 11.4.28. PHANTOM - HIGH SPEED WOBBLES. X457 / X8380 It has occurred to me that when we use front engine arms as in "SS {S. Smith} " they may reduce the risk of high speed wobbles, because the frame should be stiffer and therefore make damper work better without carrying frame with the axle. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
