| 340. -> S/W...Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. to Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} Please see me CRY C17/C31.3.37 Ph.III. RADIATORS. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std9/AP25.3.37 Thanks for your memo. and I note you do not feel that it is necessary at present to change all Mk.V. matrices in service, as the trouble in question appears to be a manufacturing one and not design. Is there any means of examining and ascertaining the trouble? Perhaps you might consider this and if it is fairly simple we could instruct all Depots and Inspecting Engineers to examine any car that comes into their hands, and report. C. | ||
