Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/AD30.6.31. SHOCK ABSORBERS ADJUSTABLE FROM THE DRIVING SEAT. We have been asked to demonstrate the dampers adjustable from the driving seat experimentally. In order to do this we shall require 4 dampers to N. scheme 3190, the two at the rear we shall fit up to N. scheme 3192 which has already been instructed. The front shock absorbers we shall have to put on outside the frame in the place that we find most suitable as we did with the American Delco shock absorbers. As soon as the parts are available we will fit them to 22-EX car. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
