| R.R. 235A (100 T) (S.H. 159, 11-8-20) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2800 ORIGINAL TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M5.9.25. HYDRAULIC SHOCK DAMPERS. X1152 X8520 Mr. Hardy has arranged for the Houdaille people to send you a complete set of the Berkshire hydraulic shock absorbers which are being put on the market by the English Houdaille Co. Though Mr. Royce does not approve of these in general, there are many points similar to the design we ourselves are getting out, and therefore we think it would be very desirable for you to test this shock absorber thoroughly.
