The steering on the above car has a malleable iron steering box which it is hoped will be more rigid and will prevent oil leaks due to opening of the joint between the halves of the box. Will you please let us know whether it is an improvement over previous Ph.III steerings so that we can issue a Standardisation Sheet if the results are satisfactory.
