This will mean that we should specify the new shock damper for a {Mr Adams} /- B.2. Series on the 40/50, and therefore C.2. now under consideration. b/- J.Series on the 20 HP, and also K.Series which is being ordered. We should instruct the Order Office and the Works to do no further work on the friction type shock damper, let me have costs for same, when I will take the matter up with BJ. in regard to allocation of scrap.
