| 12/7 Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 7/E15.7.35 15th July 1935 Dr.Richard Elsworth, 7, Sandringham Court, Maida Vale, N.W.9. Dear Sir: We are in receipt of your letter of the 9th. Doubtless you are aware that we have been using hydraulic shock absorbers for many years. The design has been improved and developed as the result of experience and it is usually the case that such methods produce the most satisfactory results. We should be interested to know in what way your hydraulic shock absorber is superior to the one referred to. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED (A.F.Sidgreaves) Managing Director. | ||
