| To. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Std. 200a CHATEAUROUX(French test region) I3/.10.2.38. 6.B.IV. - BENTLEY. Water Temperatures. Replying to Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Std.9/MH. {M. Huckerby} 4.2.38, we have replaced the thermometer in the front position as requested. In this position it settles down most often to 81°c but keeps rising to 84° or 85°c and falling again almost continuously at both high and low speeds but does not follow any set period or reason. In the standard rear position, it settles down at 83° rising occasionally to 84° or 85°c and falling again in a similar manner but less frequently, therefore less noticeably. ---------- Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /IMW. {Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} Ivanhoe Walker. | ||
