| BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} From Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} J235. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 6/MJ.29.6.31. NEW TYPE SHOCK ABSORBERS. Please note that we find we get very much better results with Nitro Alloy wearing pads on the new type R.R. shock absorbers, than with the normal case-hardened steel. We think these shock absorbers are now reaching the stage where there is not much danger in starting to produce them. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
