| (2) for the Marles steering box, the net result being quite a nice car, but still too much radiator movement, as when you tried my car. It is significant that this radiator movement has now been apperently eliminated by attention to frame rigidity, at the same time dismissing any help from the engine except as regards some possible dampingfrom the rubber mounting. It is true that the front spring shackles have been moved from the front to the rear end of the springs, but this has possibly been done to get sufficient depth in the front dumb iron sections to carry the large tubular cross member aforementioned both structurally and for uniform rigidity.
