| To B.J. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X8950 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG10.9.25. 103-MC. X8520 Answering your BJ14/DN7.9.25. With regard to the setting of the front shock absorbers. At the moment we cannot recommend increasing the load on the front shock absorbers because we do not think they would maintain the friction or stand up mechanically if the load was increased to any marked extent. It is partly for this reason that R.{Sir Henry Royce} is recommending a hydraulic type shock absorber for the front in place of the friction type. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
