Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Alien Property Custodian: May 25, 1943
The new device comprises a development from the telescopic shock absorbers used in aircraft construction wherein use is made of steel springs or compressed air for absorbing shocks, and in which a liquid, usually oil, is used to damp the relative movement of the telescoping parts. Usually, damping is achieved by forcing the liq uid from one compartment to another through throttle openings, thus to absorb a substantial portion of the impact energy. An object of this invention is to provide a shock absorber which utilizes a viscous non-drop damp ing medium, such as, grease, which does not re quire elaborate and expensive packing between the relative moving parts, as usually is required in oil damped shock absorbers.
