GOSHAWK STEERING. X.4264.

Mr. Royce yesterday stated definitely that he did not like the car raised .5". This was the result of seeing 4-Goshawk-11., the appearance of which he considers is spoilt, and which he desires to be restored to the standard camber of spring.

This therefore settles the question of the Goshawk steering.
