| X.4240. To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} & Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to CJ. R1/M6.2.23. GOSHAWK - INCREASED COOLING CAPACITY X.4240. Referring to your BY6/PlX.2.23., if a shutter is advisable in preference to louvres in the side of the bonnet, (as I think it is) we ought to be able to design one which does not rattle, and yet always ready for opening.
