| S/W. {Sales / Derby Works} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ..from Bkl. Bkl.14/WT28.2.34. Rolls-Royce Shock Absorber Controls. I shall be shortly dealing with the above in the press and I would like you to give me some rough notes as to how this improves (if it does) upon similar fittings of other makes. I understand that one of the chief points is that there is a governor which adapts the springing to the speed of the car, and that the adjustment of the springing can be done from the driver's seat with as much ease as the spark can be advanced or retarded. I understand that the device further saves weight complication and expense. /also I am not asking you to write me a treatise on the fitment, but a few short snappy pars. would be quite enough for me to build up a story.
