| X7520 By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} From DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} SECRET. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M25.4.29. c. to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} S.S. REAR SHOCK DAMPER. Herewith we send N. scheme 2883. shewing the increased diameter of washer and split pin lock for the piston dead eye, as instructed by R.{Sir Henry Royce} The piston casting itself is the same as N. scheme 2800. This necessitates a new cover in order to give clearance, and we have taken the opportunity of opening out the passages, though those in the main body will not be touched for the moment.
