I presume you are now happy about the damper unit pipe line. The replacement over-riding control unit which I sent was identical to the Bentley one except for being suitable for olive unions. The new axle control parts, R.R. Sch.966, are leaving for Chateauroux(French test region) to-day. They can be used with a spring load or without. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} thinks they should be used without the spring load if possible. You will have to drill the axle control for a dowel to suit the roll rod attachment.
