Regarding water boiling Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} definitely proves from experiments in France and Derby that the New PhantomCodename for PHANTOM I is decidedly better than the Silver Ghost type.

We expect further information when we have tested a different compression and gear ratio.

We are doing all that is reasonably possible on EAC.7. to again increase the design of the radiator, as stated in a recent memo.
