| W/S. CWB. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} 4422 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}2/T1.10.26. SILENCER. With reference to CWEL6/GM20.9.26, we cannot quite follow the principle of the silencer in question, as we have never seen anything similar with pronounced tendencies for the suppression of noise. Unless a working model could be produced which could prove the efficiency of such a silencer, we do not see how we could seriously consider it. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
