| - 2 - We ask you also to bear in mind that once you have fitted these shock absorbers and regulated them on the first road run, they will never require any attention other than the refilling of the Recuperator Chamber, which takes no time, with Castor Oil after about each 6,000 miles running, and subject to this little attention being given, they can be relied on to last for an indefinite period, without any possibility of variation in their efficiency, which is more than can be said of any other type of Shock Absorber that has been produced. The new connecting rod and ends are such that there are no ball joints, and therefore nothing whatever to grease or wear. ........ 1304 THE HOUDAILLE HYDRAULIC SUSPENSION CO.LTD . MADE AT CROXLEY | ||
