STEERING WOBBLES. X. 457
X. 8430

In the conversation on the telephone yesterday
I asked you to test as soon as possible an axle with
vertical steering pivots, as near as possible opposite the
rim. If this will not 'high speed wobble', weights
should be added ne-ar the centre of the hub either revolving
or not revolving.
