| X.8520 PN{Mr Northey}3/DN14.10.25. TO Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM: PN.{Mr Northey} Two Standardisation Sheets have come through with a view to shock-absorbers being set up (probably on the "Phantom" to 50 lbs at the ball end, and on the 20 HP to 40 lbs). I understand that the present design of shock-absorber would not be likely to stand up to the additional wear and tear. BJ informs me that there is some correspondence pointing this out and cancelling out these Standardisation Sheets. Is this the case please, or what is the position ? P.N. | ||
