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.
