It has been decided in the Conference with Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} and Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} present (12.1.33), that we must try and bring in the new type dampers at 101st. chassis in 0.2. series. We will use the new damper as arranged to suit present front tubular cross member, and not to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}'s N.scheme calling for new cross member and new engine control dampers. Please hold up parts for dampers and other parts affected like the control bracket on axle. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} will tell us when to release new dampers. BY.{R.W.
