To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X.457 E1/M17.9.25. HIGH SPEED STEERING WOBBLES. It is very interesting to note the results you have obtained by running the front wheels of the car on smooth drums, a test which I originally suggested to R.{Sir Henry Royce} It would be further conclusive to know if you can bring up high speed wobbles to the same extent on wet or greasy roads.
