(Handwritten) see me (Handwritten) HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} (Reference Number) 92/C17.11.33 Re CONTROLLABLE SHOCK DAMPERS. By/Cgh{W Clough}13/G14.11.33 ------- This fitting has already gone through the 10,000 miles test, so that we must take the risk of giving instructions to the Works for them to be incorporated at the earliest possible date. Will you please, therefore, give instructions accordingly, to enable the Works to keep their promise to introduce this on the first chassis in R-2 series. If it would be possible to introduce them a few chassis earlier than this it would help Sales considerably in disposing of the last of the previous series. Perhaps you will let us know if this will be possible. C. (Stamp) SEEN ... 17 NOV 1933 | ||
