| -2- contd: RVB/IH.29.5.34. We knew that rubber has the habit of squeaking. Rubber is a vague term and we suggest making investigations as to the best type of rubber to use for this purpose through the Rubber Growers' Association, who have compiled a special book called "RUBBER AND AUTOMOBILES". (?) Due to the greater chassis distortion on cars fitted with this body, we believe one gets greater movement on the floor and body brackets. We suggest that the wells for the feet should be mounted on A.{Mr Adams} felt or cork lino strip and that the body be mounted on packing of some anti-friction and anti-squeak material. SY. ---- | ||
