Noise Insulation Scheme - Bentley. With further reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/KW.6.9.35, C. has asked me to enquire whether you could send us quickly a set of parts so that we can apply the abbreviated scheme to one of our present Trials Cars. We have in mind Saloon No. B.2-CW, the characteristics of which are well-known to some of the people here so that they would be able to appreciate exactly the improvement achieved by the application of the anti-noise scheme. How long would it take you to prepare and send Park Ward, who built the body, a set of parts, please? Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} | ||
