Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} c. to Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} CWB. c. to PN.{Mr Northey} Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} ----------------- = Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/LF31.10.28. 48005 As a result of the tests we carried out on 2-CL we recommend the rubber engine mounting should be fitted to this car. We believe that this will entirely eliminate the 40 m.p.h. to 50 m.p.h. roughness complained of, but we are rather doubtful whether it will materially improve the low speed pick-up rough-ness.
