To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} X5430 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M2. 4. 27. 20 HP. STEERING GEOMETRY. X.5430 X.5450 One of the reasons for the bad geometry on the 20 HP. cars is the abandonment of the side steering lever on the axle with the ball mounted on a taper solid with the lever. One of these levers was made and fitted, and afterwards we believe removed. One experiment would be perhaps to try this lever again. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
