Re: BENTLEY - REAR SILENCER.

In answer to your RmGWH.4I/N.25.IO.38, we can definitely state that the pieces of metal which we found in the rear silencer were not parts from the clips but came, we think; from the forward silencer, because the metal was perforated.

The remainder of your memo has been noted with interest.
