I wish to confirm conversation of yesterday's date that the intermediate form of shock dampers which was instructed by us in accordance with N.Scheme 2145 should not be gone on with. We should stop work on this particular part immediately, taking particular care to see that the pattern is stopped and replace it with the new one we are at present working on, to N.Scheme 2153. for general dimension except diameter of piston, in which you were keeping to the present size.
