Bailey - Chief Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 6/KT. 6. 5. 31. CONNECTING TUBE. SHOCK ABSORBERS. We are anticipating that no more connecting tubes on the shock absorbers on the 20 HP. will be made un-spring loaded, as this is a very fruitful source of knocks, and we now have two schemes, either of which can be utilised.
