Mr. Royce has expressed a desire to have a couple of rear axle Shock Absorbers, of the above type fitted to 7CA, experimentally. We are instructing Mr. Coverley to do this but understand that the job will require a couple of Brakes in order to be able to fit these. We shall be glad if you can arrange to see this job through. The Shock Absorbers are at the moment with Mr. Coverley. EFC. | ||
