Floorboard & Dashboard Insulation. Replying to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}4/P.22.2.35. We are at the present moment analysing the results we have obtained on Bentley 1, with a view to seeing whether all the insulation modifications incorporated are necessary to produce the required result. This will take us a week or two. This is essential to provide the Design with information which can be used on the SpectreCodename for Phantom III. The car will therefore not be available in the immediate future. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
