| 1297 To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}14/JH.5.10.38. B.50 Air Silencer. We want to try a smaller air silencer on the Bentley 50 car and would therefore like you to make us an experimental silencer with loose pipes and baffles to the following dimensions. Length 26.00" diameter 6.00". Internal pipes 2.00" dia. and 1.875" dia. We want the 1.875" dia. pipes to slide into the 2.00" pipes, this will enable us to get BHP figures for the one silencer.
