| - 3 - Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Hdy.{William Hardy}4/G.30.4.38. Horn Button. Also needed too much pressure. Horns. Did not seem to be any too powerful when travelling fast. Coachwork. The extra width of body, and the modified lever positions, on B.lll will be very welcome to avoid the congestion around the levers on 6-B-1V. which is very bad. Top Speed. Allowing for speedometer error, 80 m.p.h. was rarely exceeded, a considerable length of run being required to reach this speed.
