re. SHOCK ABSORBERS.

We have bought some Houdaille shock absorbers to examine their construction, and now Mr. Royce wishes me to fit them to my Morris-Cowley, and has suggested that we ask you to bring down on your next visit an engineer's ratchet brace and drilling cramp, and a 3/8" drill. Also the following bolts, nuts, and grover washers will be required:-

BOLTS.
4 off K.407.
2 off K.410.
8 off K.427.

NUTS.
14 off K.4010.

GROVER WASHERS.
14 off K.4510.

With the above materials we hope to be able to fit them up, and we will then return the brace to you.
