FOR FILES.

A number of tests were carried out on the R.R. hydraulic shock absorbers with cast iron ends to establish the size of solenoid required to operate the pin varying the leak betweem the two shock absorber valves.

The attached blue print shows the size of the solenoid actually used and a more compact size which could have been used had we wished to go further with the experiment.
