Re Riding Quality

Dear Mr. Hives:

I left with Mr. Robotham my notes on inertia testing of a complete car to find the radius of gyration of the sprung-masses.

When you are through with these I should be glad if you would return them.

Would be glad also to know what you have done about swinging a 20 hp. closed car, and with what results.

Yours very truly,
Maurice Olley
