| 48940 Hotel de France, Chateauroux. Indre. France. GWn.I/urn.14.7.25. To: "HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}" From: G.W.Hancock. -------------------- Re Chassis 93 NK. Steering tests. Front wheels balanced. Tyres 40 lbs. pressure. Lighter springs in side steering tube. This steering is an improvement all round. It is good for road shocks, and has very little tendency to wobble, the most pronounced being at 68 m.p.h. The steering is steadier up to speeds of 75 m.p.h. At low speeds there is the most pronounced wobble we have got, viz. 12 m.p.h., but this will not build up. G.W.Hancock. | ||
