WEARING PADS. SPLIT PISTON TYPE R.R. SHOCK ABSORBERS. In view of the results we have had on our tests with nitroalloy wearing pads, will you please arrange to have these fitted to all dampers at present being erected. We should like the two dampers which have recently been put on the 25 HP. bump chassis, to be equipped with nitroalloy pads as soon as the necessary parts are available. We should like a pair of intermediate levers made in nitroalloy steel fitted to the 40/50 rear dampers we have recently been bumping, and run against nitroalloy pads.
