| 47250 BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M18.10.28. 'SS{S. Smith}' RADIATOR & FAN. X.615 X.7250 X.7220 Replying to BY/CGH{W Clough}4/G15.10.28., though we do not remember the experimental report limiting the closeness of the fan to the radiator, we agree that it would be desirable to provide more clearance in case of need. We accordingly send you N.sch.2745 shewing the slight reconstruction of the starting handle bracket to improve the clearance. We do not seem to have a copy of LeC.2472, and should be very glad if you would send us one. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
