Re our Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.3/KW30.6.34. Depot Sheet for grooving pistons in shock dampers.

Now that it is agreed by all that grooving the pistons gives a more efficient damper, we recommend that the 140 cars which have left the Works without grooves in the pistons should be modified whenever the cars come into our Depots.
