from ROY. {Sir Henry Royce}
c. to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}

Messrs. Andre, in pressing for further
Shock Absorber orders state:

"I should like to refer you to our previous
"correspondence with regard to fitting our "Duplex"
"model in place of the standard type 103, as though
"I know these have given complete satisfaction during
"the last Season, there is no doubt that our "Duplex"
"model will give better results".

I understand we are going on with the standard
Type 103, not "Duplex", and propose advising Messrs. Andre
if you are in agreement. Please say.

ROY. {Sir Henry Royce}
