| W.Bell. From Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} X-35 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} 2/MJ.11.2.31. IMPROVED PHANTOM II SHOCK ABSORBERS. X.7520. X.235. The great urgency with these at the moment is to get them through an endurance test. We should set the loads to those decided upon for the American cars i.e. - [Struck through] Front. 110 up and down with .055 hole in the H.P. valve. Rear. 90 up and 115 down with .055 hole in the H.P. valve. The two shock absorbers should be fitted to the rear of the bump chassis, with the least possible delay.
