X. 788 X. 8420 X. 718 With further reference to Mr. Minchin's stopping distances, he tells us that he won his case, the defence being that the brakes were so good that the car could be driven fast without danger. Presumably under these circumstances the question of stopping distance has a certain amount of interest. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
