Houdaille Shock Absorbers

The Houdaille people write as copy attached.

In view of the modifications they have since made to their Shock Absorber, would you care to try a set?

The objection, as I understand it, to their Shock Absorber is the variation in the liquid used, due to climatic conditions; and, apparently this is still the principle of their apparatus.
