-4- α = F x h₁ / (s²l²/2 + Wh₂ - Wh₁) The above formula (G.M.) for angle of roll, shows that with too flexible conventional front springs, the car may have no roll stability at all. Olley hates this new Hudson suspension, but does not allow, I think sufficient importance to the anti-roll rod effect of the front axle. The radius rods are 34" long, but we shall see Hudsons immediately and hope to give exact particulars. De. | ||
