X457. To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to BJ. HIGH SPEED WOBBLES. Dunlops have approached us to allow them to take a cinematagraph film of a high speed wobble on our bumping rig. We could easily arrange it on a bare chassis without radiator so that the car would not be recognised. Any information obtained would be available to us. We consider anything that would add to our knowledge of this problem is useful. Do you agree? Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
