Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}6/HA.8.12.32. Re. SHOCK DAMPER OFF CHASSIS GAU.67 S.C.Harrison Esq., We understand that Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} arranged for you to try this shock damper on a chassis with a view to seeing if it was noisy. We have given it a run on one of our experimental 25H.P. cars, and cannot detect any noise from it. We think, however, as this is the first time we have had a complaint of a noisy split piston shock absorber, it should also be run on a chassis and the results confirmed.
