Driver's cabs, coach and bus interiors, engine test rooms and numerous other spheres, in' which noise damping is of great impottance, provide possible fields for the application of the
special acoustic material for which the Burgess concern is • responsible.
In silencer construction, the Fibreglass, as it is called, is packed around the central perforated tube, which provides for a free exhaust without baffle plates.
