Honeyman - Retail orders} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/KW.4.4.36. Silent Bloc Mounting on 25 HP. Car. Replying to E/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/MN.26.3.36. 22-G-V will not be able to be released for any test on body mounting until it has completed the 15,000 miles test to clear the big bore 20/25 HP. engine unit for production. At the completion of this test there is no reason why the body should not be Silent Bloc mounted. We may be able to work in a 15,000 miles test on roll rod and low rating front springs which could be combined with a Silent Bloc body test. We doubt if the car will be released until the end of May.
