Independent Front Wheel Suspension.
--------------------------------

Herewith is a print of N. Sch.3967, a sketch of the suggested modification to the steering linkage to improve the geometry.

The scheme is, of course, temporary, so as to go on the car with a minimum of alteration. There is a slight temporary loss of lock.

(Print handed to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les).
