| W/S. To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG19.5.21. X1152 RE. HOUDAILLE SHOCK ABSORBERS. Referring to your Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}2/BM14.5.21. Can you please obtain for us a drawing of the present Houdaille Shock Absorber. We want to see whether it is possible to easily apply a set of these to an Experiment Car. If no drawings are available we should like a sample shock absorber. We do not wish to have a set until we see that it is going to be a practicable job to fit them up.
