For the attention of Mr. Rowbotham. Dear Sirs, Ref. 25 h.p. Chassis GLR.50. I have now had an opportunity of testing out the above car since you were good enough to have the shock absorbers re-set, and I find that there is quite a material improvement in road holding at high speeds, while I cannot detect any loss of comfort at low speeds, and I am very much obliged to you for having this alteration made. Yours faithfully, Bernard Hopps. DIRECTOR. [STAMP] PARIS AERO SHOW NOV. 28th. - DEC. 14th. STAND No 7 - GALLERY "A" | ||
