| contd :- -2- these shock absorbers had not an excessive amount of free move- ment at the ball end. So far we have been able to cure any complaint by doing this, it remains to be seen whether the cure is permanent. We are not satisfied with this method of dealing with the trouble. We are continuing our investigations. Any car that emphasises the complaint would be invaluable to us if we could have it for a few days, as absence of road test data is our main difficulty. The Barkerlite Trials car did not prove to be what we wanted. HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /an. | ||
