Referring to the Standardisation Sheet No.1328 which we have issued for the Ph.III. radiator thermometer with dial modified to have red line at 106°C. etc - we see no objection to this dial being standard on Bentley and 25/30. instruments if this is desired, in order to make the same instrument common to all cars. The steam valve blow off pressures on all cars is approximately the same i.e. 2.5 lbs/sq.in.
