Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 23.4.14. Na.{Mr Nadin}c. You issued a supervision sheet, F 4743, showing list of experiments to be embodied on chassis 58 NA{Mr Nadin}, which quotes "Hydraulic Shock Absorbers" x. 235. These shock absorbers are R.R. make and Mr Matthews states that he has only one set and these are instructed for chassis 2100E. On your list of parts you quote "E4080", we presume, therefore, that you refer to "Houdaille" X. 1152. Will you kindly clear this matter up for us. p.
