J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} DATE B17/D 10.1.16 Truffault Shock Absorbers. (Nº 2). " The time spent, and the kilometres covered "under these conditions have advanced my affairs, "although one might think the contrary, as I now "know how the shock absorbers behave, and will "behave during ........ always. " I do not wish to exaggerate things (and one "always has an inclination to do so), but no doubt "Mr Berend will have an opportunity of seeing Mr "Koechlin, and then be able to talk matters over "with him. Meantime, I shall call on Mr Wallis "to see on which car it would be best to fit the "shock absorbers. I may say that new inventions "do not always adapt themselves well to any chassis. "This is what happened to me with Mr Koechlin's "car, and I was slightly delayed on that account. "All that is nothing, when one starts manufacturing "one concludes the forms and necessary conditions. "The result is all. It is agreeable for me to "tell you that notwithstanding the delay you have "suffered, it is really no delay considering the experience This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers. | ||
