Re Houdaille Shock Absorbers.

Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Na{Mr Nadin}6/IB26314. 26/3/14.

Kindly note the attached letter from the Houdaille Shock Absorber people. Would you care to see a revised section of their absorber? Apparently there is nothing new which we can learn from it, but if you would care to see it I will ask them to post it to us.

Perhaps the Experimental Department would also like to read this letter.
