V960 V951 V952 SINGLE POINT RADIATOR MOUNTING. 1-WJ. and Sir Henry Segrave's car, chassis 30-WJ, were fitted with single point radiator mounting to cure 'jellying'. Since this modification was made to them the scheme has been improved, and we now have something which has run 10,000 miles and given complete satisfaction. We recommend, therefore, that at the first opportunity the standardised pieces should be fitted to these cars in place of the temporary pieces. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} will issue the necessary details. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} | ||
