| To R.{Sir Henry Royce} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to SC. Bor. c. to Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} W. c. to DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} HYDRAULIC DAMPERS. The Delco Co. have produced a twin cylinder shock absorber in many ways similar to the one we are about to produce. I have asked Springfield to send us one sample. This type of damper is standard on the Cadillac at the present time, but they are changing it for the horizontal piston type. I believe the chief reason for this change is that they can get the same result and the shock absorber costs less money. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X 832 X 235 | ||
