X457 x8430 We have carried out tests on a car on which the front steering pivots were truly vertical and arranged to give true centre-point steering. The axle was one of the old type, not arranged for 4-wheel brakes. We found we had to add extra weight on to the road wheels and after this was done we could produce high speed wobbles. Further tests are being made with this and a full report will be sent later. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
