| -2- Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 16/KW.27.8.35. Leslie has asked me to enquire whether Delco have experienced a trouble with air locks on the top compression chamber with the Vertical piston shock damper as used on the V.16. We have found on our Cadillac a large amount of leak. Is this done to overcome air locks ? Yours sincerely, | ||
