| To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} From Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. c.c. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c.c. RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.3/MH.{M. Huckerby}10.1.38. 649 WRAITH RADIATORS - PRODUCTION. As agreed with By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} we think that the 100 sets of production radiators for Wraith should have a scheme of bottom water outlet similar to FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}19 (as instructed for B.III) as this is definitely more economical than the present arrange-ment and lends itself to dip-soldering tank to matrix. As soon as the necessary details are issued we will fit a matrix unit up and forward it for fitting to 26.G.VI car. We would point out that we have already asked for this alternative scheme (Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.11/MH.{M. Huckerby}1.10.37). We do not think that the tools should be made for the present arrangement as they would certainly be scrap after the 1st. 100 sets were built. The bend between the bottom water outlet and the bottom water pipe should be taken up by a curved moulded hose connection. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. | ||
