Bailey - Chief Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} X7940 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}2/W.J.5.2.30. x7940@ x7250 x4816 RADIATOR JELLYING 40/50. We believe that the Diabolo rubber radiator support will help us to reduce this trouble, as the present spring mounting allows the radiator to move about more than is absolutely necessary to preserve the matrix from shocks. We should therefore be obliged if you could detail the W.W. scheme as soon as possible so that we can get it on the 40/50 chassis which is about to start 10,000 miles test.
