| To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. BJ22/H23.6.22. XC4426 Hartford Shock-absorbers. It has been a relief to us to read Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 2/LG22.6.22, as we were very worried about the possibility of our numerous customers who have these shock-absorbers being troubled with the excessive noise which we had experienced on 81-TW. Are these ever fitted in America, India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes) or Australia? If so, they should be informed. Would it not be possible for the Hartford people to publish a small leaflet giving instructions as to (a) how these should be fitted; (b) what attention should be given to them, including what parts should or should not be lubricated.
