SHOCK ABSORBER BUSHES We have received prices for the rolled strip Vandervell bearings for our front Bentley V Shock Absorbers. These are as follows:- Part No. Quantity Price per 100 Part cost of Tools. B.2469 1,000 22/9d £15. 0. 0d. B.2470 1,000 11/- 25. 0. 0d. B.2471 1,000 22/- 15. 0. 0d. B.2472 1,000 11/2d 25. 0. 0d. You will note that the cost per set of these Bushes and Washers is 1/2d and apparently the cost of the material for our present bushes is 1/8¾d. {John DeLooze - Company Secretary} As I expect you will be able to manage without the two Thrust Washers, a further economy can be made.
