Will Mr. Allen ask the Vacuum Company what results have been obtained?

In warm weather there is still a very noticeable decrease in damping action and an increased tendency to clatter.

Until we can eliminate this at least to the extent that American Houdaille do, I do not think we can call the shock absorbers really satisfactory.

OY.
