| X2 of To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. Wer. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Mfty. Mix. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} Dy{F R Danby}/US. re Thermostatically Operated Shutters on Bentley. This confirms that in returning to thermostatically operated shutters the present bypass on the front of the cylinder head will be entirely washed out. The specification should now conform to the original LeC. designs for the thermostatically operated shutters with plain cylinder cover on front end of cylinder head, but as regards the water pump this should be left as it is now and the hole for the bypass pipe connection should be plugged up with a standard hexagon headed plug.
