Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} X766 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.
