With reference to the 20 degree angle axle fitted to No.2300 landaulet driven to Dover by me, this seems to me to be a very good axle, and I suggest that we make five or six more, so as to get a better idea as to whether they are better and are less liable to develop periods. 2300 however, is a car with double rear brakes, which I understand will be free from periods under most circumstances.
