| 3.11.33. CONTROLLABLE SHOCK DAMPERS - 104-MY (SG{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'S CAR). Last Tuesday 104-MY was tested at London. This car had only done 400 miles since it was left at London. The whole of the shock damper system was quiet and efficient. No sign of depreciation could be noticed. The damper valves were all quiet and no noise was heard from the governor main release valve. Compared with 22-EX, this car has a less harsh ride throughout the range, although the top load appears to be sufficient. Speedometer reading 2475. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A.
