As the Coachbuilding Dept. have recently complained that the method of insulating the scuttle from the dashboard by means of a strip of rubber is not as effective as it might be because it is too rigid, and suggest that felt might be used instead of rubber, we think that the above body might be a useful occasion to try this experiment, and if you agree we will put through an instruction. No doubt we should keep, the rubber bushes going through the scuttle armature but the strip would be in felt. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
