We must arrive at a standard shock damper setting for 'C' Series: this is urgent. We cannot rely on new type (medium size) bellows because the small size may be ordered. Clapham should see Roy {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} /Les. and Roy {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} /Ms. If the medium size bellows are very desirable then the order for front bellows for 'C' series should be held up as long as possible. Brakes B.V. series. Silver Wraith (hydraulic) brakes should be finished and correctly set. B.V. - 9.B.V. Final recommendations to production are necessary for:- (1) Lengths of levers. (2) Lengths of rods. (3) Friction material, brakes and servo. (4) Servo spring plate. New Servo. Ought to be tested on dyno. Other work as in Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AFM. {Anthony F.
