Your Ref: E/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}4/MN.6.4.37. We now have the sample sets of sound insulating material rigged up on Bentley and 25/30 H.P. cars and are merely waiting for the Administration to say when they can try the cars with the new scheme in position and again with the noise insulating treatment reduced to the current normal, so they can appreciate the extent of the improvement achieved by your modifications. We hope all this will be done in the course of the next few days. We will write you immediately after the tests. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} | ||
