| x 4613 BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /EM. From Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /AJL. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /AJL.1/MJ.18.7.30. SCUTTLE ISOLATION RUBBERS. With reference to your By {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /EM1/J.16.7.30. the hardness of the sample rubbers submitted appears to be about correct. We cannot, however, give a definite decision unless we have at least one complete set of rubbers. Will you please therefore obtain one, or preferably two sets of all the rubbers which go to make a set (F.55879, 50729, 79206/7, 80727) in the same mixing of rubber as the sample submitted. As an alternative, we would like to test a set 10% to 20% softer than the sample. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /AJL. | ||
