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?
