| S/W By RECEIVED 21 OCT 26 X3908 C9/C20.10.26. Overheating in Car Bodies. Will you please let me know if you are doing anything to test the scheme of putting asbestos encased in tin round the exhaust, with an air space? You informed us recently that you saw no objection to this scheme but were rather doubtful whether it would stand up against the stones on the bad roads on the Continent. C. | ||
