HYDRAULIC SHOCK ABSORBER. N.SCHEME 2159.
-----------------------------------------

Before we attempt to put on test the alterations incorporated in the above, I would like to be sure that there are no other minor alterations which will be required in the near future.

My point is that we have broken the back of the job, and we could have a breathing space now, during which we could await results and then if necessary produce a really final shock absorber.

I am doing nothing with the above N.Scheme until I hear further, and preferably until we get some further information based on what we have already done.
