(Struck through) x9726 Wd {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} 10/AJJ/7.7.24. Hartford Shock Absorbers In reply to By {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /C3/H1.7.24, we have received a letter from T.B.Andre & Co. dated 3rd inst., copy of which is attached. You will note Andre & Co. prefer to send us shock absorbers of the new type to replace those which we have in stock rather than alter the latter and I think you will agree that this is the most satisfactory thing to do. Will GEA. ascertain and inform me what number of shock absorbers we shall have to return for replacement and I will advise Andre & Co. what number of shock absorbers of the new type they must prepare in readiness.
