| CJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X 819 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/LG3. 7. 24. HEAT UNDER SCUTTLE. X 4613 (crossed out) X 819 The alteration for reducing the heat of the floor-boards and under the scuttle is incorporated on the cars running 10,000 miles in France. From tests which have been taken, the heat is reduced 20 to 25%. We are expecting the cars will have completed 10,000 miles this week. Standardisation sheets will then be sent round for the parts fitted to those cars. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
