WOBBLES ON 20 HP. CAR.

We attach a report of tests for steering wobbles carried out on 9-G-111 car in France.

It would appear from these tests that the 20 HP. may be less likely to develop high speed wobbles. The tests however will have to be confirmed on other cars before these results can be taken as definite!
