Mr Elliott is sending tonight sketches that will enable a radiator to be made up specially with side plates and side trunnions. If we are able to make this conversion fairly easily, we think that providing the crinkled tubes are really flexible, the scheme provides for all sources of trouble, except perhaps, the necessity of some diagonal braces suggested some few weeks ago.
