There are very few complaints when cars
are so turned out unless the tyres are run unnecessarily
hard, which can spoil any effort of ours.

Finally, I do not agree to drilling shock damper
valves because it is no use for the quick movements of
the axle where it might be beneficial, and renders the
dampers nearly useless for the slow body movements which
we wish to steady for safety, and to avoid seasickness.
