| To DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} c. to EY. X235 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/LG16.2.27. 20 HP. REAR HYDRAULIC DAMPER. The arrangement for this was got out before the spring loaded gland was evolved. On the car which is now going to France we find we cannot get the spring loaded gland in without fouling the brake rope. We should be obliged if you could look into the matter and evolve a scheme to overcome the difficulty. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
