| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} x7960 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/WDL 2.10.31. 58-GN. x7520. We have fitted up this car with drilled valves in the rear shock absorbers so that it will be suitable for the trial run in Glasgow. We have got our experimental adjustable shock absorbers built up but before we fit them to your car for trial we should like to have some experience of the way they function on our own cars. We will proceed with these tests with the minimum of delay. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
