EAC - STEERING TESTS.

We carried out tests to determine whether altering the angles of the steering arms produced any affect on the steering of the EAC. The lines passing through the steering arms produced were made to meet the centre line of the chassis at 80", 95" and 130", from the front axle. The result of the test shewed in the intermediate position gave slightly lighter and better steering than the other two extremes but that the improvement was not marked.
