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.
