Abstract
This paper discusses what is meant by ‘feel’, particularly but not exclusively under high speed driving conditions, what is required to provide a satisfactory ‘feel’, and to discuss how it may be possible to do this. It mainly, but not exclusively, considers motor cars and is basically confined to the modern power steering rotary valve which uses torsion bar springing, since this embraces by far the greatest number of power gears currently made. Most of the illustrations and references relate to rack and pinion steering but, in a general sense, all that is said can be applied to other types of steering gear.
