JLE.{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} CX{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}/JG. SCUTTLE ISOLATION. P. 2. N. SERIES. We have seen the proposed print that you have sent with the modifications suggested by EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} (1) JLE.{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} rightly points out that the side rubbers cannot be easily inserted as drawn, and suggests that they be wrapped in cloth and shewn thus: SHALLOW RECESS with a note to the effect that these are inserted after the body is mounted. (2) The rubber isolation discs are shewn compressed to .350" JLE.{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} says that this may in some cases be found to much with the hard rubbers. We must leave you to settle this dimension with EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} and HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} as we have no data. (3) These rubbers should be shewn seated right on the flange of the bead, thus: (4) There does not seem to be any real need to give a compression dimension for the rubbers in the scuttle on the wooden rail, but if EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} and HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} agree to do so, we agree. 25HP. We suggest that a similar print should be set out for the 25HP. forthwith.
