AND PHANTOM II QUARTERLY COMPLAINTS. ------------------- With reference to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les12/KW.6.12.35., we do not think there are many complaints of shock absorber knocks due to slackness at the axle control anchorage. Most of the knocks reported in the Quarterly Complaints List are on dampers not of the latest type and are mainly due to incorrect functioning of the replenishing valves etc. Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}/SB{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister}5 | ||
