varied. At the same time we should carefully consider
whether the steering levers should not be strengthened.
May we not have made the levers so rigid that there is
practically no flexion and that the shocks which were
previously damped partly in the pivot are now entirely
taken by the steering levers ? The pivot and steering
levers were probably equally stiff before or nearly so,
but now the pivot is considerably stiffer than the lever
and the lever is therefore more likely to give way.
