Dear Sirs, We acknowledge with thanks your letter of the 1st regarding Luvax Piston Type Shock Absorbers, and in reply have pleasure in enclosing a blueprint of our Drawing No. W.9010/1810 giving the outline dimensions of our Type P7, which is the size of unit we estimate you will require. These can be made either Double Acting or Differential Acting as required. Our standard production units are non-adjustable, but our practice is to supply adjustable units for experimental cars, so that the optimum setting may be arrived at. The drawing we are enclosing gives the dimensions of the adjustable type. We shall be pleased to give you any further information you may require. Yours faithfully, LUVAX LIMITED.
