Bentley / Mr Barrington} Steering Too Heavy For Cornering. - - - - - - - - - - - We have done everything we know to cure this. There is no toe in on this car, lean of pivots is alright. The pivots have been on the dry side owing to oil leaks in the bijur system which we have gradually eliminated. The London traffic and winding roads has shewn this up which is not experienced on a straight run. We hope the shaking up on the Continent will free it. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/G.W.
