OVERHEATING.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG14.5.25.

We attach herewith a report which reviews the
overheating problem.

One point we suggest might be tried to reduce
the troubles on the 'Silver Ghost' type cars is to fit a
new type fan running at xxx higher speeds, driven by a larger
fan belt.

Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
