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. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
