contd :- -3-

We should like you to go over the pivot lean from say 1° to 4°, trying every intermediate degree to establish the best setting. We ought also to try varying the toe-in on this new axle to see if we can improve joggles.

SUSPENSION.

We should like your recommendations of the loads on the dampers that give the best compromise :

(1) For town and low speed touring up to 55 m.p.h.
(2) For high speed touring.
