Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X5520 Newby Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LG25. 3. 29. We should make a point of preparing the 20 HP. (now running 10,000 miles) rear shock absorbers with the increase of area of bearing pin. If it was possible to prepare these shock absorbers with nitro alloy pins and levers, it would be so much the better. They will also have the drilled high pressure valve.
