Mr. Lovejoy has been working on a set of aluminum shock absorbers of which he has sent you samples. Although these are of racing-car type it would probably require little change to adapt them to ordinary passenger car requirements. Mr. Crittenden would welcome your suggestions in this matter. With kind regards. Yours very truly, Maurice Olley MO/E | ||
