| X832. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} from FD. {Frank Dodd - Bodies} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /FD. {Frank Dodd - Bodies} 10/KT.14.9.32. SHOCK ABSORBERS. We had a set of Telecontrol dampers fitted to 22-EX on 11.7.32, and since this date the car has run 3,247 miles. While we have no complaint to make of the efficiency of the dampers, we have experienced a lot of trouble with liquid leaks from the control unit. These leaks come from the threaded portion of the unit where the end cover screws over the piston. [Stamp: RECEIVED] Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /F.Dodd. | ||
