| X3730 To LHS.{Lord Herbert Scott} from BJ. Copies to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BP. BJ16/H12.12.22. NOISY BODIES. With reference to LHS{Lord Herbert Scott}4/EBN111222, I think the Sales Conference felt it is no use making a soundproof box for testers to sit in to listen to the noises made by chassis. What is required is a box that will give the same sound as an ordinary (rather poor) limousine body. Perhaps you will kindly inform Windovers accordingly, if W. agrees. B.J.
