LORD CHOLMONDELEY -- ADJUSTABLE HARTFORD SHOCK ABSORBERS. With reference to FN.1/WT.29.9.31. and blueprints from Messrs. Andre showing how they propose to fix their shock absorbers on the 20/25/HP. chassis we are supplying to Lord Cholmondeley, we have carefully considered the matter, and although the brackets are not as we should make them, we consider that after taking everything into consideration we should agree to Messrs. Andre supplying the fittings. We think, however, that it should be made clear to Messrs. Andre that this is a special case, and does not mean that we are agreeing to them advertising the fitment for fitting on cars with our recommendation. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
