| RG{Mr Rowledge}/DT.4.13. [Stamp]: RECEIVED 10 APR 1913 From F.H.R. to Mr. Wormald. Copies sent to: Mr. Johnson, Mr. Madin. Re Exp. Nos. 234 also Road Springs, friction between leaves and rear shock absorbers. My recommendation is to cancel shock absorbers at any rate at back of car until we find that they are really bene-ficial. For a long time I have not seen the logic of greasing springs and fitting shock absorbers. F.H.R. [Handwritten]: W=Wormald [Handwritten, circled]: X189 | ||
