| STELLITING VALVES Jardine still seems convinced that for Automobiles at any rate he has had good results from the softer stellite. You will observe his remarks. I send some Calculations of Oy's on different lay outs of independent wheel suspension. I think that he is inclined to over emphasise points such as the tendency to squat when braking, though Dubonnet's Hispano shewed me in Paris how unpleasant it can be if you get the lay out so wrong that the car is lifted much when the brakes are applied. SUPERCHARGING. The Graham Paige effort has undoubtedly stimulated interest everywhere in this developement. I have not had an opportunity of trying the car. SIX CYL ENGINE. As previously mentioned, I have been impressed with the Plymouth. The result may be mainly engine mounting, or combustion Chamber design possibly has a lot to do | ||
