| TO HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} ORIGINAL PHANTOM RADIATOR AND FAN. X8220 X8/250 Replying to HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/T25427., re. experimenting with a fan on the Phantom, pushed closer to the radiator tubes in the same way as was done on EAC.8., you will remember that the original design of control for the detached radiator shutters brought the rods to the side, and the existing rod going straight down the middle of the radiator was done because there appeared to be room. For experimental purposes no doubt you could revert to the original design shewn on N. schs. 1891/1894. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
