We now have complete instructions from the D.O. for reforming our shock absorber system. The 40/50 rear have already been made and tested. We should like to have the 5 sets, instructed in our Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KT.23.3.31. as we propose to fit them to trials cars. The 20/25 HP. Delco R.R. on the rear is instructed in Sy/HEB{H. Biraben}1/M5.5.31. the cases having been issued earlier, 22.4.31. We should like ½ doz. sets of these parts as soon as possible. The Delco R.R. on the front of the 25 HP. is instructed in Drawing F.57908 and we should like ½ doz. sets of these also. In view of the quarterly complaints we feel that now we have details through to overcome the troubles, we should lose no time in completing our tests which can only be carried out satisfactorily by utilising a number of cars.
