| Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}/SM2/L19913. Re Steering Wobbles. X.457 J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 19-9-13. In reply to your query asking whether our experiments bear out Mr Royce's theory, Mr Haldenby tells us that when we decreased the rake of the pivots it certainly did improve the steering, but in accordance with a further suggestion of Mr Royce's we are making a further test in which the pivots are still more upright. This test has not yet been made but we shall forward you a report as soon as same is completed. p. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} | ||
