Edwards} 1315 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}2/JH.6.6.37. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} has requested that when carrying out performance comparisons on the test bed, the final comparison be made with the standard silencer as used on the particular type of unit being run. The layout of the system to approach that of the chassis as near as possible. Give max. power and non detonating power line with the above. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H.
