20/25 HP. Steering.
------------------

With reference to the proposal to reduce the length of the pendulum lever 10% for trial, we should recommend that at the same time the ball on the side steering lever should be raised by a similar amount, so as to preserve the present geometry

There appears to be no difficulty about doing this.
