Chassis No.61-JS{Mr Johnson's Secretary} - London Trials. The steering of this car has never been very satisfactory at the higher speeds and it is becoming less so, and more harm is risked than good by giving demonstrations until we can improve it. I should very much like to see one of the flexible shackles fitted to this car. Have you one of the approved design in stock to let N have at once? If so, how many hours would it take to fit? PH. | ||
