| W/S. {Derby Works / Sales} CD. from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} c. to L/AWS. Y4117 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 6/LG3.1.29. Chassis No. GBM.21 F.H.Blackmore. 4235 With reference to CD2/GM2.1.29. Our man visited Mr. Blackmore at Bristol and was able to cure his trouble by fitting a new pair of standard production shock absorbers. It was hoped that we should have been able to have tried out some experimental modifications on the dampers on this car, but unfortunately the owner did not give us the opportunity to carry out this work. We consider that half the cost should be borne by the Expl: Dept: The cost has been booked to O {Mr Oldham} /N.06743. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} Expl: | ||
