ROY {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} 8/MG22.2.24

The Houdaille Hydraulic Suspension people are still really keen on our testing our Houdailles, and have written this day as attached.

Would you care to try a set?

I believe we did try a set before Hartfords were standardised; if so I propose to advise them that unless they have made material alterations in their Absorber, we cannot see any useful purpose would be served by submitting same to the exhaustive tests necessary before we could consider their adoption as standard.
