| Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Date 25.7.29. Page 2 Undoubtedly the scheme as at present used is efficient, if the armoured hose is brought close up to the end of the air line, and supported even by a loop of insulating tape at some point close to the instrument, but to avoid any possibility of this being missed in a coachbuilding installation, we are submitting the suggestion shown on the "mock-up" set which we have sent you. It should be noted that the body and strap are not quite standard; the set being made up of scrap material. If you will return this to us, with your remarks, we will proceed to make up a working model for test. We remain, dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, H.M.HOBSON,Ltd., T.P. Searight Joint Managing Director. | ||
