Bentley II
Steer angle of rear axle is 0° 5.7' per degree roll of car. [ Rea track 57.4, relative wheel lift per ] [ 1° roll ~ 1.00" ]
Bentley III, Original spring layout.
Steer angle of rear axle is 0° 4.5' per degree roll of car. Rear track approx same.
This modifies my previous statement somewhat, though BIII is still better than BII.
