re. <u>SHOCK DAMPER CONTROL.</u>

It appears that the type with the little pump having the pressure regulated by centrifugal governor promises to be so superior, and is nearly as simple as any of the other schemes I have suggested, that I think we ought to go ahead full speed with detailing for an experimental trial.
