We should like you to put in hand two sets of. shock absorbers similar to those fitted to 11 Per.II now running in France. Front to L.O.P. F.100622 Rear to L.O.P.F.100621 The only modifications made since then are :- (1) Improvement to the gland and strengthening of the gland cover. (2) Improvement to the area of the feet. These will be detailed during the next day or so and are shewn on R.R.Sch.291. We require a further three sets of dampers as above but made to suit the oil controlling scheme to R.R.Sch.284. We understand that twelve sets of bellows have been ordered. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
