ANDRE SHOCK ABSORBERS NEW SERIES STANDARD MODELS TYPES 298, 302 & 306. The wonderful reputation of the Andre Shock Absorber with its double-action control is based on sheer merit and performance, and the New Models embodying various detail improvements represent a distinct advance in the effective control of spring action over the whole range of speed of the Modern Motor Car. A number of important modifications have been incorporated in the new models, resulting in still greater efficiency, reliability and an improvement in operation and control of the spring action. The new models are similar to the old types, but an improved method of enclosing the friction discs has been adopted, and the use of non-ferrous friction surfaces ensure a smooth and soft action, also they are totally enclosed and fully protected against mud, dirt, etc. All models are fitted with the remarkable ‘Silentbloc’ flexible end bearings, which require no lubrication or attention at any time and are an exclusive feature of the Andre Shock Absorber. Andre Shock Absorbers are supplied in either Single or Multiplex models in sizes to cover the whole range of cars from the smallest to the largest, and including heavy commercial vehicles, charabancs, etc. Prices of Standard Models per set of 4 Shock Absorbers, including all necessary brackets and fittings:— SINGLE MODELS, Type S.
