contd:- -2- that by now we should have known what is the best windscreen, and at least fitted it to all the cars which pass through our hands. The type of clamp holding the glass open which is about 9" from the side of the screen along the top tube is useless. We have previously complained of a similar screen on 6-Goshawk-11 which we have here. Of all the fixings this seems to be the worst. What is the objection to the "Auster" type which we liked?
