For example, the Variomatic system fitted as an option to the Jaguar 420 required only 2-7/8 turns of the steering wheel lock-to-lock, which compares favourably with 4-1/4 turns lock-to-lock for the manual Burman F.3 recirculating ball system that was standard fitment on the 420, and 3-1/4 [4] turns for the constant ratio Burman power steering ...
