Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X1160 C12/C28.6.35 Re Weight of Noise Insulation Scheme on Bentley. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}15/KW27.6.35 I note that on revising your figures you found that our weights are correct, your discrepancy being that you had not included the weight of the rubber mats and the weight of the adhesive used. I note the revised summary, and that you propose to go to Park,Wards and talk the matter over with them and JLE.{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} with a view to getting a part of the scheme on to the more vital parts, which seems quite satisfactory. C. | ||
