Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. 15th January, 1937. For Mr. Leslie's attention. Dear Mr. Leslie, I forgot to ask you when you were here yesterday if you wanted the front levers offset the same as the rear ones, in the four shock absorbers with the hydraulic bellows that we are going to make for you. If there is any special offset required, perhaps you would let me know. I understand you are going to supply us with valve parts, bellows, and the bellows container castings. Yours sincerely, p.p. THE GORDON ARMSTRONG PATENT SUSPENSION CO.LTD. Gordon Armstrong P.S. We have sent you tonight one shock absorber with smaller valves in to see if the small valve will overcome the squeaking noise. | ||
