To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X1588 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LG15.9.26. SHOCK DAMPERS. X235 In confirmation of our verbal conversation yesterday, we wish the new type shock dampers to be fitted with compressor oil. As we believe this name covers a certain amount of variation in the oil, we have sent a sample of the type with which we are satisfied, into the Laboratory for analysis so that we can ensure no confusion will arise in the future.
