re:- WIND NOISES.
----------

It is now some fair while since we issued our recommendations for the improvement in wind noises on bodies for Bentley and R.R. chassis.

We would be interested to know how many Coachbuilders have made any efforts to follow them or improve on them, and results obtained.

We appreciate that there must still be bodies coming through built before the recommendations were received. On the other hand, the proposals we made for something better should be found on all recent bodies.

Is it your experience that the trouble is getting less?
