| 8 450. To By/Ald.{F. Allwood - Experimental Design} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} c. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} B.III STEERING. The above car wanders at high speeds on an undulating road due to geometry errors in either the front or rear suspension. We suspect that the error arises at the front end and wish to make this geometry perfect in order to prove the point. Will you please detail the necessary parts as discussed verbally, for perfect front geometry. For the purpose of the tests we are only interested in the straight ahead geometry and realise that the method we have suggested is impractical under any other conditions.
