(4) Centre point steering is correct under all circum-
stances and should not be departed from.

(5) Friction should not be necessary or desirable.

(6) Incorrect geometry is not so apparent if stiffer front
road springs are used, and increased thickness of buffers (as
is recommended for production Goshawks), lifting the car up about
1" at the front.

More designs of parts will be sent as they are made.
