| To EY. from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} fu4/26 RE. HARTFORD SHOCK ABSORBERS. We understand that Hartfords are only producing shock absorbers now with the rubber silent block joints. We have run these shock absorbers for 2000 or 3000 miles on one of our cars. We have not had an opportunity of running them any further because we have been busy with hydraulics. We recommend that we use the standard Hartfords with the rubber block. We assume of course that as these are a proprietory article, that Hartfords will be more or less responsible that they are satisfactory. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
