Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}11/E18.4.32

Referring to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}2/E13.4.32 I have now driven the car about another 100 miles.

The steering seemed to be quite free and, as I said in my former note, has been very much improved from the point of view of joggles by the fitting of the spring shackle.

With the tyres at the usual pressure it seemed to be quite free.

I certainly think that we ought to make every effort to get this spring shackle tested as quickly as possible so that it can be standardised at the earliest possible moment.
