| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} X > 960. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}10/MJ.4.1.33. We should like to fit up your car with the latest type shock dampers with automatic control. Unfortunately 58-GN. car is now so out of date that it has not got the right gearbox for the control. I understood you to say some time ago that you were having a new car. If this is so we might take advantage and anticipate new fittings on the chassis. On the other hand, if the new car is a long way off we should like to fit to 58-GN. the new type shock absorbers with hand controls. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
