| -3- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.3/AP.19.10.37. The Cadillac fan with the 1.0/1 ratio will not be standardised until we get a better drive for it, but we shall standardise this fan and belt with the 0.9/1 ratio as being reasonably reliable and a means of improving on our low speed overheating troubles. The overdrive gearbox is a definite help from all aspects of the cooling problem. We have yet to decide whether the oil cooler can be dispensed with on Ph.III.
