20 HP. TYRE PRESSURES.
-----------------------

Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} informed me yesterday that he did not propose to put up the tyre pressures on the 20 HP. chassis to overcome high speedwobbles.

The 20/HP. is not so prone to the wobble as the 40/50, hence the suggestion to leave the tyre pressures as they stand.
