| L7520 N/W. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} Br/G11/G.9-7-34. re.Chassis 2-PY. Jack Barclay.Ltd.(- STUBBS) Please refer to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.1/KW.30-6-34. These new pistons were duly fitted to the shock dampers, and as stated by Br.in his Brl/H.6-7-34 there was a distinct improvement, although the car still rides harshly. You will see that it is now proposed to change the springs. Presumably you require the original damper pistons back for modernisation. We are arranging to return them, and after attention, they should be credited at Works. Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} | ||
