Experimental Department. Dear Sirs, With further reference to telephone conversation of this-afternoon, we to-day despatched to you one pair of rear Shock Absorbers. As explained over the 'phone, we ourselves are not quite satisfied with the action of the valve. We are however, quite satisfied that the Shock Absorbers themselves are in perfect working order and as requested by you, we are despatching these on the understanding that you will examine the valves from a rather more experienced point of view than ours on this particular type of valve. Trusting you will obtain satisfactory results from these, and assuring you of our careful attention at all times. Yours faithfully, p.p. ARMSTRONG'S PATENTS CO LTD. F Bogg | ||
