In reply to your Ms/RM {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1/LG31.10.28 it is hoped that whilst you have recommended the rubber engine mounting for this chassis you have at the same time taken immediate steps to fit this modification- and I shall hope to hear very soon that a definite improvement has been found in respect of the higher speed roughness complained of.
