France. 17th June 1936 32. EX. - PHANTOM III. In reply to your memo Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Std.21/JH. 13.6.36. Up to the present mileage, the rubber mounted thermometer has given us no trouble. It seems to be a distinct improvement on the solid type. There is less strain put on the tubing, and is more flexible as a whole. No chattering or noise has developed, and the complete unit is entirely satisfactory. We will however, give the rubber etc., a thorough examination at the conclusion of the test. ---------- G.W.H./HFH. {Hoppy F. Hamilton} | ||
