Bentley Exhaust System - Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}10/JH.13.5.37.

We send you herewith:-

LeC.5734 showing the exhaust suspension system very similar to the Wraith but throwing away the proprietary Silent-bloc rubber bushes, and using instead bushes of a low durometer and bigger area.

If this suspension proves a success we shall have saved some money, and also some weight compared with what we are fitting on production.

LeC.5734 herewith.
