| Sft.{Mr Swift} 855-0. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/AG.13.11.31. Works has agreed that we shall send a complete set of 4 of the latest split piston type dampers to Cricklewood to be fitted to any car which is known to be sensitive to damper noise. The object of this is to see if our latest improvements will overcome complaints. We ~~will~~ propose to use production shock absorbers rather than some we have built up in the Experimental Dept. Will you therefore please supply us with a complete set of dampers for the 25 HP. Chassis. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
