| COPY. To W. from BJ. BJ5/H19.10.25. Chassis No. 22-EU - Mr. Soulas. With reference to Ps2/Crn/16.10.25, I notice that this customer has complained of over-heating, but in the middle of the first page of this memo, it is mentioned that the customer apparently always ran with only the rear shutters of his bonnet open. I am not sure whether any of your tests show what is the difference of water temperature with only the rear shutters open, as compared with front and rear shutters open, but it seems unfortunate that when the customer found his car was overheating, he did not open the front ventilators, which are specially designed to let out the hot air and keep the engine cool. Doubtless you will be communicating with Ps. on the whole matter. BJ. ENCLOSURE No 481 "JUSTSO" | ||
