| S/W (Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}) c. to Ed.{J. L. Edwards} Mr. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 340 URGENT. PHANTOM III OVERHEATING OF COOLING WATER. Will you kindly refer to my recent memo. We are very anxious to have W's decision as to what is to be done in these overheating cases of which there are several. We have to write to Mr. Whigham as soon as possible because he is already aware that the thermometer on his car is giving an entirely misleading impression of the actual temperature of the cooling water. Can you please let us have the suggested remedy by return? Note: Lord Milton - 3-AZ-234 and another car, number unknown at present, suffered from the same trouble on Derby Day. The Aga Khan, 3-BU-68 is also another case. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} | ||
