HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}T/SHA. 15.6.34. PHANTOM II CONTROLLABLE DAMPERS. With reference to C/S/C.21.6.34, we have arranged for Leslie to go to Cricklewood next Wednesday, the 27th inst. for 3 days in order to learn BR's and JLL's views of our controllable damper system. Leslie will bring with him a spare set of shock dampers which incorporate the latest improvements and which he can fit to one of the Trials Cars. We hope it will be possible for these dampers to be fitted to the Trials Car on Wednesday so that Leslie can witness the difference in the riding of the car.
