| To W.Bell from Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1292 Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 2/R.8.4.38 The Shock Absorber diagrams in which I am interested are the diagrams for the fixed R.R. damper as fitted to the original Bentley, compared with the fixed Armstrong damper at present fitted to the B.III. The object of doing this work is to found out why the fixed Gordon Armstrong damper is not as good as our own; at present it does not give comparable results.
