P.S. Since writing the foregoing, we have received the following information from W. (Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}/WW12/W22.9.25):-

"We have no list of complaints of steering wobble on 'Silver Ghost' chassis fitted with front wheel brakes, but as far as we can recollect these have been very few.

We have been able, however, to trace three cases, and we give you the chassis numbers below:-

17-TM at approx. 70 m.p.h.
57-EM at approx. 35 m.p.h.
36-AU at speeds between 65 and 70 m.p.h."
