McKechnie - Sales}17.1.36. 22-G-V.{VIENNA} On this car we are proposing to incorporate all the information on noise insulation obtained from America. The body being supplied by Sales is a Thrupp & Maberly one, and Grylls has already been down there and made special provision with regard to damping the body panels and the upholstery to be used. At the same time we are proposing to modify the dashboard insulation, to bring it into line with current American practice. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
