| c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Y7250 EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}5/H13.6.29. re. "S.S." Radiator. With reference to your Mx{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}6/T12.6.29. my complaint in regard to this matter was not so much the loss of water due to boiling, but loss of water due to high speed engine running. I would suggest a further comparative test be taken under boiling and non-boiling conditions, the engine running at a speed corresponding to that which would give 50 to 60 m.p.h. on the road. EP.{G.
