| WW. 12.5.25. STANDARDISATION SHEET. 'V' SERIES SCUTTLE ISOLATION. A previous standardisation sheet has been circulated for the standardisation of a semi-flexible isolation between the scuttle and the dash. We were unable to obtain the signatures of Sales, who produced evidence in favour of a total isolation, which has been used on the 40/50 for several years. We understand that the C. S. C. is prepared to agree to this, and also that the Exp. Dept. at Derby raise no objection. We therefore propose to standardise a scheme of total isolation, in which there is no connection between the dashboard and the body. RR. will simply supply the rain gutter around the dashboard.
