Bailey - Chief Engineer} X4263 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 4/LG21. 8.22. Y3441 X4263 RADIUS RODS ON FRONT OF 40/50 CHASSIS. We have run a 40/50 chassis a short distance with radius rods fitted to the front axle. The first impression is very very pleasing - it has made a marked improvement in the steering. We are pushing forward with experimental sets of radius rods for the front of Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) cars.
