ATR/PC (3) 6th July, 1938. A.F.Sidgreaves, Esq. (3) Size and weight. (4) Division behind driver. I would like to know what are the objections (if any) to the body being tied down solidly in front because, if this is a cure for the dither, it seems worthy of adoption rather than reverting to heavy and costly box section runners, which may not overcome the trouble unless it, too, is tied down at the front. Yours sincerely, (Signed) Alec T. Roberts. | ||
