Re: Hartford Shock Absorbers. In reply to your Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rml/MJ.25.7.30, we sent a representative to Messrs. T.B. André & Co. Ltd., Victoria Gardens, Ladbroke Road, London, W. 11, to make enquiries regarding the arrangement of adjusting Hartford Shock Absorbers from the interior of the car. Our representative did not give our name as we were under the impression that perhaps Repusseau of Paris were putting something on the market merely for use in conjunction with Hartford Shock Absorbers, but this apparently is not the case. We were informed that Repusseau in Paris are the actual manufacturers and that this adjusting device is at present only in the experimental stage and is not yet on the market. No doubt if you wish to order one of these new devices when they are on sale you will communicate with T.B. André & Company of London direct. Whr {Mr Wheeler} /Mac. {Mr Macintosh} | ||
