| 342 HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les8/R.29.12.36. 35-EX - REAR SHOCK DAMPERS, & ROLL ROD. If possible we should like the above car to be fitted with rubber connecting links for the dampers and roll rod (N. Sch.476) and N. Sch. 4880). On the off side of the car we should like to test the synthetic rubber gaco. We have the necessary gaco parts. If there are no more parts available, it will be necessary to exchange parts with 32-EX.
