FRONT SUSPENSION
Independent front suspension systems of the kind utilising pairs of bifurcated radius arms, descriptively known as "wishbones," to support each steering head, are now used for a large number of American cars; open coil springs carry the load and have proved remarkably -reliable. This arrangement has rather a deceptively simple appearance because, in actual fact, there is a great art in choosing the dimensions and locations of the wishbones. These factors decide the way in which the front wheels shall move relative to the car on rough roads and on corners.
A great deal of research has been applied to this subject with results that will be seen in the improved stability and handling qualities of the cars so equipped. These qualities are now being combined with comfortable riding to quite an outstanding degree.
At Earls Court.—Very hot-looking little man, detaching himself from a very temperance-looking wife: "Well, dear, I'll just have a glance at the B.A.R. I don't suppose you'll be interested. You stay here by the D.K.W."
