| contd :- -2- (Our experinêce on the rough roads here suggest that front buffer clearance must be increased by half at least). Having done all we can then we must have ample damping, as proved by the 20 HP., which, though good otherwise, was still very unsatisfactory until the damping was increased, and both cars to my mind are still insufficiently damped, and our hydraulic damping is less objectionable to solid friction, or combined hydrailc and solid.
