| contd :- -2- theory suggests, that the longer strokes have proportionately more damping than the short strokes, but should have no difference in effect between a quick axle movement and a slow body movement. We believe this will carry us as far as we know at the present. Naturally we have always wished for increased damping with increased car speeds, but we do not know how to do this in a simple practical manner, and it was this idea that led to the dynamic passage etc. But this does not achieve the object, and has other faults.
