Dear Mr. Gryls, In connection with the description of the Rolls-Royce skid pan to appear in "THE AUTOCAR", we think it would be a good thing to reproduce one or two representative curves as for under and over steering from actual tests you have made. It would probably be inadvisable to mention names in connection with the figures, but actual results add interest to such a description. If you are in favour of this and able to furnish the information, perhaps you will select some figures and let us have them at your convenience. Yours faithfully, M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} A.{Mr Adams} Smith | ||
