STEERING WOBBLES. W57 78430

In the conversation of the telephone yesterday I asked you to test as soon as possible an axle with vertical steering pivots, as near as possible opposite the rim. If this will not 'high speed wobble', weights should be added near the centre of the hub either revolving or not revolving.
