We do not feel that it is worth altering the design to give the increased friction, because we hope shortly to be able to reduce the amount of friction required in the axle by modifications to the column. In any case it appears that the hydraulic steering damper will be available if it is thought desirable to discard the spring loaded cross steering tube.
