| - 2 - What, perhaps, is the most important point, does not appear to be touched on in this questionnaire - i.e. the general silence, smoothness, absence of vibration. From the limited trial and period of driving which I had on this Car with a lower geared axle, I am doubtful whether at our speeds under 30. m.p.h. the Car is as good as the present one.
