| To. Mr. from HDY. {William Hardy} c.c. Eg.Wer. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} LES X235 HDY {William Hardy} 17/N.9.1.33. Shock Dampers. N.Sch.3634 herewith shows a spring loaded gland for the new type damper in case this is found to be necessary. We gain the necessary space by reverting to a lever solid with the shaft as used on our standard dampers. The final scheme should have .250 studs to secure the gland piece and this requires alteration to the pattern. HDY. {William Hardy} | ||
