Voller - Orders}5/MG.24.11.34, we entirely agree that we cannot officially fit Smith's hydraulic Jacks until they have completed the ordinary 10,000 miles test. We can say, however, that we have fitted them up to our experimental chassis, 5-B-IV, and that so far they operate satisfactorily and there are no exceptional installation difficulties.
