| X.3563. To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R. {Sir Henry Royce} Copy to CJ. " " Bn. {W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} " " Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} X.3563. RE THERMOSTAT. R2/G19.4.20. Regarding the thermostat and the slight want of fool-proofness in making the water connections, I certainly think it will be advisable for us to adopt the india(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes) rubber water hose type joint instead of the union connection between the thermostat tower and the other water pipes leading up to it.
