VII audible without the rubbers on the dash Sch 1517. We are now experimenting with the present radiator control on N.2. Since fig I, only using replacing the hard rubbers & very soft ones. Even if this were not considered practical for production cars, it might be useful on conversion cars, and we hope to [crossed out text] be able to use it on all cars. We should thus be able to reduce the maximum movement of radiator without bumping the cross-member. We feel inclined to let the radiator move slightly with the frame on extreme bumps. | ||
