Bentley Exhaust System - Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Wym. {G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} 10/JH.13.5.37. We send you herewith:- LeC.5734 showing the exhaust suspension system very similar to the Wraith but throwing away the proprietary Silent-bloc rubber bushes, and using instead bushes of a low durometer and bigger area. If this suspension proves a success we shall have saved some money, and also some weight compared with what we are fitting on production. LeC.5734 herewith.
