MATTERS FOR ATTENTION ARISING OUT OF MINUTES OF CONFERENCE JAN.12/33. Minute 5. Item 5. Adjustable Shock Dampers. You will notice on referring to the above Minute you were to look into the question of whether the improved dampers could be brought in on the 40/50 at 101st chassis of '02' Series, due to test April 15th and on the whole of 20/25 'Z' Series. We now understand that the improved dampers will be brought in on 40/50 'P2' Series, and 20/25, 51st chassis on 'Z' Series. Will you please let us know if this is correct ? Minute 13. Item 12 Further Material for 20/25's. Silent Second Speed. We understand in this case also it has not been found possible to bring in this feature at the 101st chassis of '02' Series (40/50) and the whole of 'Z' Series (20/25), but it will come on at the 40/50 - 'P2' Series, and at the 51st chassis on 'Z' Series - 20/25.
