I have a collection of the SAE technical journals and the ’20s journals were FULL of articles on shimmy or wheel “wabble”” as they called it plus axle tramp. The conclusion was that the balloon tires that were designed to run at 20 to 25 lbs were the primary culprit. The consensus seemed to be that medium pressure tires running at 35 to 45 psi were the best compromise and that’s mostly what we have now.
