| DY.{F R Danby} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hdy.{William Hardy} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} X328 E.5/HP.19.12.35. Rear Gearbox Mounting - Phantom 3. From report Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.8/KW.17.12.35, it is seen that the original rear rubber mounting N.Sch.3892 has satisfactorily completed a test in France, and has been passed for gearbox noise on various experimental chassis. We are, therefore, in agreement with the memo issued by Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} that this scheme should be used in preference to N.Sch.4463. N.Sch.4463 was never intended for production. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
