In reply to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}12/MJ.13.11.31 when we have one of our Continental Trials Cars available in London again, I will try the effect of removing the air-silencer-tubes referred to, and try to judge if any gain in performance is justified by the consequential increase of noise.
