Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} My. Bn. {W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} Cx. {Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} Controllable Shock Dampers. 40/50 HP. Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 16/E26.1.34 Referring to Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les.6/KW.25.1.34 the information given therein is very interesting. I have not yet had an opportunity of driving 104-MY to get any idea of the loaded damping and, as I am using the Terraplane this week-end, it will probably be another week before I do get an opportunity, but I am conveying the information to Cx. {Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} and Bn. {W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} and asking them to endeavour to try the car next week and let me have their views. Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
