| WST rl6153 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. K/KC/DPB/28.5.35. WIRELESS INSTALLATIONS, 3 1/2-LITRE BENTLEY. SUPPRESSERS. ------------------- We are returning to you under cover of our advice note No.4138, marked for your attention six suppressers(plug) and two main lead ditto, removed from the ignition system of the 3 1/2-litre Bentley, the property of H.R.H.The Duke of Kent. We have fitted in place of these the resisters supplied by the Erie Resister Company, as arranged on the occasion of your visit to K.{Mr Kilner} Our report is that whilst the interference is slightly greater, as was to be expected, the slow running, or idling after adjustment to suit the new suppressers, was very much improved.
