For trying various ratios of K^2 G.M. have been running a AB car fitted out as below. The Car is sprung for say 10 wts in addition to the body at the Cg & x. By transferring these wts in pairs, one to front & one to the back, K^2 can be made equal to one without altering the initial spring deflection. ⑦. Cadillac Steering. 20+ middle vs{J.
