YOUR REF: Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.10/JH. Experimental Department, Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. 5th April, 1937. For Mr.Leslie's attention. Dear Mr.Leslie, Many thanks for your letter of the 2nd instant. I will meet you as suggested at the Midland Hotel about 12.45 p.m. after which we can then go into the various and sundry details regarding shock absorbers. I may say that I think we have discovered a means of getting over the extra pressure that comes on the lever control when the shock absorber is working, and will explain this to you when I see you. Yours sincerely, p.p. THE GORDON ARMSTRONG PATENT SUSPENSION CO.LTD. Gordon Armstrong | ||
