| TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} C to BL BY ORIGINAL PHANTOM STEERING, & RADIATOR. X 8630 X 8250 The chief advantage that we can hope for in the steering will be due to the decreased weight on the front wheels caused by the redistribution and reduction of weight for the better riding qualities of the cars. We are moving towards this objective. The radiator on 10-EX. should be criticised and approved. There are several advantages in this model, both in weight and appearance. It is lighter, to assist in riding and steering qualities, and has a thinner appearance, increasing the apparent length of the bonnet. The fan can be nearer the surface of the radiator.
