| (4) which I did not do. New type fibre High-tension Wires. Although these do not fray they still seem liable to become bent and distorted. I do not think they are a very great advance on the old type. General. On the whole I do not think this car was very good from a comfortable point of view. The springing was in my opinion very poor and I should not call it a pleasure to ride in either the front or the back seats. The body rattles are also bad but I believe this body has never been very good in this respect. Will it be possible for you to arrange to state on the test cards what number of passengers the springs are designed for ? | ||
