Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} The car now running in France has the latest aluminium cases, cork and rubber glands, and simplified split pistons. Set at 90 lbs., these dampers were very effective. We have a note from GW. commenting the high speed and steering stability of the car. He also reports that the dampers are silent.
