Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} JLE.{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} REPORT ON TESTS OF X.7770. c. to C. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} COMPLETED CARS. X.5770. (4) Regarding the scuttle isolation we are still uncertain what is the best scheme we should recommend to be used. We are not quite sure which is the last recommendation received from Derby. Would HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} please say. JLE.{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} recommends the use of our rubbers in side buffers between the dash and the scuttle vertical pillars. He is of the opinion also that we should tell coachbuilders how much to compress the rubber buffers. | ||
