contd :- -2-

We are designing an improved front axle for the 20 HP. on the lines of the lighter and better Phantom. We are making an attempt at a design of an axle so as to give a parallel lift to the front road wheels, with the object of avoiding the gyrostatic reaction, and preventing some of the scrub of the tyres on the road.
