Coverley - Production Engineer} comments upon the modifications as follows :- "The modified shock damper to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1584 is definitely better than N.Sch.14231. We cannot see any further improvements at the moment, so are therefore proceeding to Sch. as drawn on Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1584." We should like to have your views.
