Steering is rather stiff and quite
tiring after a days run, not as bad as
the Lanchester. Steering had a certain
amount of slack in the steering box ,
but did not appear to be effected by
road shocks.

Springing was Very Fair at any
rate did not seem bad, intend making
further tests with this with more load
on the car.

There did not seem to be any
signs of water boiling, floorboards were
quite cool and the air passing under
same was quite cool compared with ours.

Exhaust was very quiet and the
silencer seemed very effective, suction
noises about the same as R.R.

Car suffers from explosions in
the silencer when running down hill but
same were nothing like as objectionable as

Contd.
