| S/W...... c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} The SPRINGING With further reference to C9/C17.10.29, we have now tried Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s car with the alteration in the shock absorbers and there appears to be no question about this having effected a very considerable improvement so far as "dithering" at lower speeds is concerned. Unless, therefore, you see any reason against this, will you please arrange for this scheme to be fitted to Mr. Hague's car, No. 99-WR. Also will you please let me have your advice in regard to Stoye's chassis No. 24-EF - see also C9/C17.10.29 C. | ||
