| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X308 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}5/KW.20.2.36. Phantom III Air Silencer. Will you please note that the air silencer to LeC.4880 for the above cars has proved only 50% effective for silence. We have handed over to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} an experimental silencer which gives us 100% silence efficiency, and a design is being prepared immediately. This is the silencer to go into production, the silencer to LeC.4880 now being considered obsolete. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} | ||
