| S/W {Sales / Derby Works} AE Y7250 PN. {Mr Northey} ... from H. {Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} copy to Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hm. {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} H12/LH {Mr Haworth} 10.5.29. ENGINE COOLING AND WATER CIRCULATION. --------------------------------------- With reference to PN {Mr Northey} 1/WT10.5.29. and Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /NM's suggestion some days ago that it is possible that a number of our customers are in the habit of using anti-freezing mixture in their cooling water, I circulated all the Inspecting Engineers. MK, St and FBS {F. Bell Scott} , - who have the more northerly districts, have replied saying that they have not yet come across a single RR. owner, whom they know to be using an anti-freezing mixture. This information agrees with what we know in London. We cannot call to mind having had the use of such a mixture mentioned to us by an owner or driver. Possibly the Repair Department could give us further information. | ||
