| To HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} & OY. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} -2- R1/G24/1/21 Contd. with vertical pins, which would be more perfect because an out of balance tyre would not affect the steering, but I have never seriously felt any ill-effect from this cause. It is only necessary with our scheme, to lean the front pivots the correct amount, and be sure the back of the car is stable side-ways in both springs and tyres, to get the most perfect steering possible.
