Beverley,
YORKS.

Dear Sirs,

In confirmation of our telegram to you this morning, we require the dampers to be two pairs, and enclose a drawing RF.730/1 showing the assembly.

You will note that with the rocking lever in the damper in the mid. or horizontal position the outside lever should incline downwards at 5° so that full bump and full rebound give equal movements of the damper.

Yours faithfully,
for Rolls Royce Ltd.,
