| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} x342 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.1/JH. 25.3.36. REAR SHOCK DAMPERS FROM 21-G-IV. As one of the cast iron bushes has seized slightly, it would be unwise to fit these dampers to 22-G-V as instructed. Will you please replace the cast iron bushes with the hardened steel bushes, fitting new levers if necessary and refit these dampers to 21-G-IV. 22-G-V should retain its own dampers.
