MADE AT CROXLEY contd :- -2- getting in the system. We are reducing the severity of the test as we consider that it is over-strenuous owing to the fact that the shock absorbers have no possible chance of being cooled; on the road they would be continually exposed to convectional currents. At the moment it does not look as if there is much chance of any of the three types in question proving a reliable means of alleviating wobbles.
