| Hôtel Sylva Pergolèse PARIS 3, Rue Pergolèse (XVIe) Avenue de la {L. A. Archer} Grande-Armée — Bois de Boulogne Téléph. : Passy 38-12 Passy 25-54 of the car is very good at all speeds & all conditions the steering being positive & not suffering from reaction in the roughest of gutters & bad cambers. With the Hartfords on the front set at 50 lbs. the car feels very nice & solid in front & the steering has a feeling of extreme steadiness, which of course makes one feel very confident of what one can do. With the Hartfords slacked off the steering is what one might term softer, the wheel having more moment but this is not jerky or actually & does not feel any loss of control. Possibly with higher max poundage this moment would be less but as it is the steering is really very good & so the riding in the back. This is especially marked when taking bumps at high speeds there being very little tendency for the passengers to leave the seat & the rebound is most effectually damped. B.P.T.D. | ||
