| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} x 360 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.1/KW.19.11.35. We have tried the Ph.III radiator top tank with baffles to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2183, and find that the baffle around the filler is effective but that the one around the steam escape valve does not function satisfactorily. This means that we are no further forward in the matter of reducing water loss. We therefore wish to try the scheme to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}12 (Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.9/KW.15.11.35) as quickly as possible. Will you please push this forward and fit it to 35-EX while this car is in the shop. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std. | ||
