| -4- We do not consider at present that it would be advisable to use them in front, as we think the present type of Rolls-Royce shock absorbers acting in both directions (with perhaps a rather longer spring to follow up the changes of the leather better, and so make the setting more permanent) is best designed to prevent the axle striking the frame on bad bumps. However, on my own car I have run a full set of Lovejoys front and rear about 8000 miles and have no complaints to make. Cy. (Sgd). M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Olley.
