From Sg. to Rm. seeking clarification on conflicting reports about steering joggles for vehicle 8-B-V.

To Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 8-B-V. {VIENNA} Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 8/E291238

I notice the report dated the 19th refers to steering joggles which are bad even on a good surface such as an Autobahn.

I have had the former reports looked up and, whilst there have been references to wandering and reaction on bad roads, there has been nothing which really indicated joggles - in fact the report of the 11th December indicated that the steering was all that could be desired.

It is, therefore, a little confusing and I should like to have your views on the subject.
