C O P Y. EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/T18/F22516. Re Peat's Report on Over-heating. ------------------------------- With reference to your memo CP12/M3516, we should be glad if Peat could test and report actually what the oil temperature is, and we suggest that two bonnets are supplied for this chassis, a louvred and a plain, so that the plain could be used in Winter and the louvred one in summer, or a special bonnet of the universal type, i.e., with shutters, should be supplied.
