| -2- tests here and we do not think this is the probable cause. You will remember that this is the second engine which we have had in that chassis. As regards the steering ball ends. These, I believe, are the same as you ran on 23-EX. and have also run on previous cars. Do you think it is because they are not made with the same degree of accuracy, or what other reasons have you for them suddenly giving trouble. The reason the improved water bend has not been sent out is because we do not think it is worth while. I should be very glad if you will write a resume of the running of that car, giving us briefly the troubles, what you consider they are due to and what suggestions you have of overcoming them.
