| 4698 To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les.7/KW.1.5.35. Testing Auto-Lock Shock Dampers. In order to test the functioning of these dampers on the road we shall need to measure the internal damper oil pressure corresponding with various wheel movements. For this purpose the indicator Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1850 instructed in our Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Std.3/KW.22.3.35 has been designed. Will you please urge these parts as it is impossible to learn the exact action of these dampers on our normal test rigs. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les. | ||
