INSTRUCTIONS. 19 To Order No. Customer's No. 7 Best results with the steering as regards freedom & self-centreing, & was not done with the object of curing wobbles. I quite agree that inclining the pivots constitutes an important operation in dealing with both the low speed & high speed (unbalanced wheel or tyre) wobbles, but as far as my experience goes with the two cars previously mentioned, this job does not seem to have such an important bearing on the subject as the question of strength of springs in the side steering tube.
