At the moment we are finding out if we can make the 20 HP. dampers more effective (like the last two SS.{S. Smith} before we plugged valve leak). The body tumbles about like a mass of many tons, and only very low speeds are possible on this especially bad section of road. I think road springs are too flexible also. The body is a rather heavy Hooper, with that wretched signal window robbing elbow mom. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
