| contd :- -2- In order to get reasonable riding at low speeds together with adequate damping for fast touring, we are running hydraulics with an increased viscosity factor practically unaffected by change of oil temperature. We have a complete set on 12-EX. The results so far are encouraging. We are trying them on the rear of EAC.7. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/W.A. Robotham. | ||
