X7960. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Mr. Lidsey. X. 8410. X. 7960. Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}/WT7/KW30.4.31. Re Chassis No. 110-DC. We have tried the above car and find the springing very good for town work, and also good at moderate speeds. At speed the car was inclined to sway, and rolled rather badly when cornering. Generally it rides similar to one in which the springs have been grooved and hydraulics fitted with our AF and AT loading. Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}/WT. | ||
