FRONT AXLE CONTROL DAMPER.

With reference to DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 1/M16.11.28. The memo. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3/LG13.11.28. was unfortunately sent out without my knowledge - I had not intended to circulate it until I had further information, since none of these levers have broken on the road.

I send you a sketch of three failures we have had on the bump.

You are correct in assuming that 'decrease' should be read instead of 'increase' in the last para. but one.
