| X.3563. To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to CJ. " " Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} " " Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} X.3563. RE THERMOSTAT. R2/G19.4.20. Regarding the thermostat and the slight want of fool-proofness in making the water connections, I certainly think it will be advisable for us to adopt the india rubber water hose type joint instead of the union connection between the thermostat tower and the other water pipes leading up to it.
