HYDRAULIC SHOCK ABSORBERS. f4046 We have seen a sample of the Derihon shock absorber and we shall receive some sample pairs for test on Monday. We attach a description of this shock absorber. From the appearance it does appear to be a better proposition that the Houdaille. We shall be able to let you have more information however when we have received the production of samples and have tested them. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
