| To RIC. From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} x634. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/KT.13.3.31. We find that the engine vibrations are transmitted to the body via the steering column. In consequence we wish to isolate the steering box. we suggest that we should do this with a slab of engine foot rubber as indicated in the attached sketch. Will you please make the necessary pieces to fit to 25-EX. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
