MILLS’ SCREEN SILENCER.
A useful little device that has been brought to our notice is the Mills Rubber Screen Silencer. As most motorists are fully aware, and in particular drivers of fast cars, a good many two-piece wind-screens have an objectionable habit of rattling when in the closed position. However tight one turns the locking, there generally sets in at a certain speed, a most annoying dither. The Mills Screen Silencer completely overcomes this. Clipping on to the lower panel, it provides a rubber buffer against which the top glass rests.
The Mills Rubber Screen Silencer sells at the very modest figure of 9d. a pair, fitted in either nickel or polished brass. The makers are Messrs. S. Mills & Co., Ltd., Standard Works, Nineveh Road, Handsworth, Birmingham.
