| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from EH. E.F.C. X3461B EH2/LG1.12.19. X 3461B. REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS FOR 40/50 CHASSIS. With reference to your memo BY3/P1.12.19., we are not yet in a position to supply to you a model Shock Absorber. We have not yet decided on the strength of springs or the range of the different stages. We consider the Works are safe to go on with these as long as they do not slot the plates or order up quantities of springs. EH. R.R. 235 B 200 (T) (S.E) 673. 22-5-19 (G). 2676. | ||
