Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} X1160 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}7/KW.6.9.35. Noise Insulation Scheme - Bentley. Replying to C.6/C.6.8.35. We have tried out this abbreviated noise insulation scheme on Bentley I, and are satisfied that it gives 85% of the improvement obtained with the total scheme; it is therefore well worth while. We will fit it up on the Van Vooren body in due course, but it will be some time before this is available. We think that the abbreviated scheme makes such a great improvement to the Bentley that, now we have tested it out, it should be fitted as soon as possible.
