| contd :- -2- Steering support failure. The steering support on 9-G-111 is the same as that which has been fitted to all 20 HP. cars. The part which failed is known to be highly stressed when the car is run over rough roads. R.{Sir Henry Royce} designed and we tried experimentally a different type of steering support but it also developed definite faults. When the alterations are made to the steering, following the lines of those on the Phantom, no doubt the fixing of the steering box will be altered. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
