| -2- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.7/MH.{M. Huckerby} this with a 1937 Packard and the answer is an emphatic No! It looses its water very rapidly and boils even at speeds of 30 - 35 M.P.H. on a day with an air temperature of only 57°F.{Mr Friese} Actually, the rapid water loss takes place before boiling in the top tank occurs. Once again, our only excuse for repeatedly calling on you for information is your courteous encouragement to us to do so. Awaiting with interest your reply to this letter and our letter of Oct. 16th. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
