were perfectly bedded we obtained inconsistent results.
Incidentally this friction device is somewhat inaccessible.
We do not feel that it is worth altering the
design to give the increased friction, because we hope
shortly to be able to reduce the amount of friction required
in the axle by modifications to the column. In any case it
appears that the hydraulic steering damper will be available
if it is thought desirable to discard the spring loaded
cross steering tube.
