| X4329 PN {Mr Northey} 8/DN/7.6.23. S/W. {Sales / Derby Works} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM PN. {Mr Northey} Re 20 H.P. Shock-Absorbers. In reply to your Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 4/LG29.5.23, I find that the alteration to the dampers on our 20 H.P. Landaulet has not made much difference to its general running; any little difference, however, is for the better. The shock-absorbers on the 20 H.P. Open car which we increased up to 50 lbs. in one stage, are an improvement on the standard. For all fast work, undoubtedly the loading could be considerably increased with advantage. P.N. | ||
