| X75201 HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} re Controllable Shock Dampers. Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 4/E8.3.32 X5520 Thanks for Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 6/MJ.4.3.32 I think your suggestion is the right one, i.e. not to spend time and energy on the experimental scheme referred to but to tackle R's scheme which I understand is designed for J.III and which I note can be utilised for P.II and the 20/25. I think this is doubly right because, although RZ. wired us as per the telegram quoted in my former memo., I received a letter from him afterwards in which it was quite evident that he was not at all in favour of the leak control scheme.
