===================================

We have instructed a rubber engine mounting for this car similar to that of No.1. We understand from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} that as a result of bump tests they have proved that this rubber mounting will not stand up. He is therefore instructing some modifications to overcome the trouble.
