| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} X1152 Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M5.9.25. HYDRAULIC SHOCK DAMPERS. X.1152 X.8520 Mr. Hardy has arranged for the Houdaille people to send you a complete set of the Berkshire hydraulic shock dampers which are being put on the market by the English Houdaille Co. Though Mr. Royce does not approve of these in general, there are many points similar to the design we ourselves are getting out, and therefore think it would be very desirable to test this shock absorber thoroughly.
