| Contd. -2- Hsl/LG18.12.19. two alterations make a very great improvement. They do not make it quite as good as with the Dunlop belt but we consider they make it sufficiently good so that we shall not received complaints from customers. We are getting in communication with the belt people to see what they can offer us. X.3772 We recommend that the spring on the tension rod should be adopted without delay. Apart from pre-venting the noise, the spring retains the tension on the belt so that it requires much lessadjusting. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
