----------

Messrs. Andre have recently introduced a Shock Absorber in which they claim the control of the Shock Absorber itself is possible from the driver's seat, and have sent us a sample for examination, which I hand you herewith.

They have sent no literature, but I think you will easily see from the set in question what the principle is.

Kindly advise if interested.
