STEERING X.4264

Danger on left lock when turning a sharp corner fairly fast on full lock.

Extremely tiring to drive through lack of support to the column.

Insufficient clearance for the hand between the steering wheel and the body. It is easy to trap one's hand when the steering is self-centering.

Hm. {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}
