| RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/WJ.7.4.30. 20-EX. Will you please replace the solid blocks in the rear engine feet on this car with Diobolo rubber. It will then be road tested and afterwards brought in for the front shock absorbers to be mounted on the engine. In this second test we want to retain the single point front engine mounting so that the rubber should be left out of the front feet leaving no contact between the shock absorbers in the frame.
