| The vibration at 60 M.P.H is still, these which causes the change speed lever to vibrate violently. We spoke to somm as regards brake squeak we get squeaks from both front brakes. otherwise the brakes are good. As usual with a car at Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence there was no damping one shock absorber was definitely not working. We hope to get into Austria tomorrow. I have arranged to call at the Maybach works Friedrichshaven & Bosch at Stuttgart. Possibly in case to try the 8" stroke on the C.I. engine. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
