Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} X457 R8/M7.4.28. PHANTOM - HIGH SPEED WOBBLES. X.457 X.8380 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} | ||
