| contd : - -2- lifted, push the road wheel over the pivot, or make the pivot as vertical as possible, even departing somewhat further from centre point steering. (11) The levers carrying the cross tube should be as near 90° as we can and dare from the stub axles to prevent the loss of leverage on the L.H. lock. (12) It appears fairly certain that this trouble is the addition of small percentages multiplied together like compound interest. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
