| Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to C. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3/MJ.23.4.30. x7250. x457. x7960 RADIATOR JELLYING. We failed to cure radiator 'Jellying' on 1-WJ with the single point mounting mentioned in Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1/MJ.1.4.30. The results obtained were most disappointing because from tests on Experimental cars, we thought that a solution had been found. It is clear that 'jellying' is so much worse on 1-WJ than on any experimental car that we have, that we are at a big disadvantage unless we can work on this particular car. We therefore ask you if possible to let us keep 1-WJ until we have made some real improvement to it. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
