Page 66 Strike out par. 2. starting "If forced to" and ending "the side brake."
Page 66 Notes to driver
Collision line 2. Between the words
Dumb irons — for. "springs, wheels, steering gear" At present it appears as if we expected the dumb irons to break.
Page 66 Risks line 9 strike out the words, "great strain on mechanism"
Page 69. line 6. I suggest the words, "Extinguish all lamps if a light" be left out. Leave it to the good sense of the driver to do this as a light, should not be put out while the car is in the public street.
