| S/W. To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Copy to EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} X235 PN{Mr Northey}5/EH.29.9.26. Hydraulic Shock Absorbers. I do not know whether you have yet issued any detailed instructions in connection with the general maintenance and upkeep of this component. As you know, we have them fitted to the front of 103-MC, and our men in London do not appear to have any knowledge as to telling if all is O.K., or if any oil has been lost. PN{Mr Northey}/EH 30.
