This scheme has been criticised from the point of view of swaying. The car, however, was driven at various speeds round corners, but the committee were not conscious of any undue swaying.

He, says that any increase in swaying can hardly be possible because the body is bolted down rigidly at the back and the [overstruck text] possible amount of extra movement in the front is only a fractional part of an inch (somewhat of the magnitude of 15,000th./ 30,000th.) on the rubber.
