-4- The Wraith curve shown in Fig. 1 and Olley's curves shown in Fig.2 indicate exactly the same trouble and cause. This was proved by taking a further set of steering angle curves of the Wraith with no roll rod. These are shown in Fig.3 (1) with tyre pressures 30 lbs/sq.in. rear 25 lbs/sq.in. front. (2) with 30 lbs/sq.in. front and rear. (3) As (2) but with 600 lbs. ballast in rear of car.
