Two principal types of instability of front end of automobile are analyzed, namely, shimmying and what author terms waddling; problems of shimmy and waddle may be attacked either by changing design so as to bring them outside range of driving speeds, or by introducing damping forces; as damping means a so-called hydraulic damper is recommended, similar to hydraulic shock absorber. Translated abstract of two papers read before French Academy of Sciences.
