It is rediculous that roll rods should have such high hystersis losses in their bearing that they spoil the ride with a torsion bar rating of zero.

We want to see Cadillac figures compared with:

(1) Phantom III.
(2) Roll rod on O-H.V.
(3) GAC-2.

WHAT DO WE NOW RECOMMEND FOR CONTINENTAL PIII

It is absurd to say that we cannot make a normal type of lubricated bearing stand up if this is necessary.

FINAL RESULTS

Will instruct a 6/cyl. head with the water brought nearer the valve seat.

(9) H.I.F

Should see if we can reduce the size of the prop. shaft damper flywheel on the 20/25 (we are contemplating putting this in production again) now that we have the org & Beck clutch centre.

Any tests made?

(10) H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Smith.

Instruct an 11" Clutch centre with "rubber" lining to try on 2-G-V in view of the fact that this clutch has now covered 20,000 miles and judders when prop. damper is removed.

(11) H.I.F.

Can we delete one universal joint in 1st & latest change speed where by reducing cost.
