| W/K - KC. +261 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.5/KW.24.5.35. Thank you for your report of our tests and the information on the Bentley and Draper shock absorber. This information is very useful. Looking at the drawing shows that trouble should be expected from loss of oil, as the length of bearing appears quite inadequate. However, the damper has one or two rather interesting features which may at some time be useful to us. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} | ||
