| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Please kurrba. reply Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Bentley 10,000 Mile Test. I notice from one or two of the daily reports that the radiator shutters do not remain fully open at speed due to wind pressure. I should be interested to know whether this is a new point, i.e. something which did not reveal itself when other tests were being made in France at high speed, and also whether you have anything in mind to overcome the trouble.
