It occurs to me that with the overdrive we can do away with the oil cooler. Will you take a figure of the maximum oil temperature obtained on the overdrive with the oil cooler out of action. I wired you last week to say that we should be crossing from Newhaven to Dieppe, arriving Dieppe Tuesday morning. We should like you to meet us at Dieppe with one of the cars. We are interested in your reference to the radiator matrix getting choked up with flies. What happens to American cars running about France? Do you think we are worse off than the average ? We are glad to note that you have improved the petrol system. fawbon war [handwritten] Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
