"If steering spindles are not scientifically designed, the car will shimmy. i 1 . "If springs are the old type deeply cambered, short, choppy kind the car will jump all over the road "and , "'have' a' tendency to leave it at curves. "If car is not in perfect balance, rear end 'will be 'chasing the front all the time. "If frame is weak, rear wheel will not be able to follow true I "And, if brakes are not 100 per cent efficient if they grab ' or "jerk or j skid " the car when applied then the driver must take turns faster than is safe if he would master his average. And, of rcoufse, taking a sharp turn at 50 or oyer is liable to 'roll' the balloons off. ''Rickenbacker. steering, balance, springs and double depth frame, give a degree of stability, steering precision and ability to 'hold the road' to a degree I never have found 'm"any other car. "And the mechanical 4-wheel brakes, render it unnecessary to take turns at dangerous speeds.
