| To E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} 1/KW.17.4.34. 28-EX. We have the following note from Hancock :- "Silencer Mounting. Not as yet good enough. Stronger bottom springs are required; the cups hit and chatter. Snout bracket broke - it is too weak; the 'U' bend broke across the bottom holes where the bolt goes through the eye of snout."
