Review of car design as affected by low-pressure tires; conclusion is reached that, in order to avoid shimmying, all backlash must be taken out of steering mechanism and that, so far as possible, all rake of king-pin outward leading of wheels, and toe-in should be eliminated; suggests introduction of hydraulic steering gear as means of accomplishing these results.
