| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} M4469 X5520 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}2/LG25. 3.29. We should make a point of preparing the 20 HP. (now running 10,000 miles) rear shock absorbers with the increase of area of bearing pin. If it was possible to prepare these shock absorbers with nitro alloy pins and levers, it would be so much the better. They will also have the drilled high pressure valve.
