| A.{Mr Adams} FROM HDY.{William Hardy} C. to MR. [REDACTED] HYL/422.8.36. x5510 SHOCK DAMPERS - J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 3. TYPE. COST OF CONSTRUCTION. We have just sent to Derby a design for a damper piston which appears to us to reduce the cost of manufacture of this part about as much as it is possible to do. We should be glad if you would criticise the new piston - drg. Sch. 7517. - and the remaining parts of the damper from the manufacturing point of view, and let us know if you find any features which are unduly expensive to make. HDY.{William Hardy} | ||
