BY/Cgh.{W Clough}23/G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 23.11.33. 40/50 HP. - CONTROLLABLE RR. SHOCK DAMPERS. ---------------------------------------- With reference to C.2/C.17.11.33. the Works are to commence building R.2. series chassis next week, and although there is not much time they are doing everything possible to introduce the above on the first chassis in this series, but will confirm definitely in a day or so. It is not possible, however, to introduce the scheme on any of P.2. series chassis, without causing delay in the programme. BY/Cgh.{W Clough} | ||
