R.{Sir Henry Royce} 10-7-14.

We attach herewith a list of
experiments fitted to chassis 58NA.{Mr Nadin}

The Houdaille Shock Absorbers have
been removed because on the extreme bump
the levers got into a straight line and
got past the dead centre in the wrong
direction. This resulted in one of the
Shock Absorbers being smashed up.
