| X 7520 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Report of Controllable Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}17/E2.1.34 Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}B.HY.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} Shock Dampers, 10,000 miles, DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}Hdy.{William Hardy}Er.Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} 22-FA. I am in receipt of Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.10/KW29.12.33 and have noted with interest all that is reported therein. I assume that there is nothing sufficiently adverse arising out of this 10,000 mile test to prevent our standardising these controllable shock dampers on chassis as previously arranged? Sg.{Arthur F.
