To By: x5005 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wym{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager};26/KW.3.10.34. 20/25 HP. Rubber Mounting for Engine. Re your memo. By/Cgh.{W Clough}4/G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 22.9.34 concerning the flexible suction pipe from the Autovac to the induction pipe to Lec.4085, we are quite in agreement with regard to the flexible part of the scheme, but we very much doubt the petrol and benzole resisting qualities of the rubber specified, and would suggest that the flexible petrol piping as used on our standard Bentley cars should be used instead of this rubber.
