| TO BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to -DJ. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL 20HP. RADIATOR SHUTTERS. X5250 / X8250 Herewith we send N. schs. 2314/2320., shewing the arrangement of vertical radiator shutters which R.{Sir Henry Royce} now requires. The details used are as far as possible exactly the same as those for the Phantom, so that the number of new pieces required is very small. Except for the bottom tank the con-struction of the radiator is also practically unaltered. The use of the Phantom pieces also applies to the shaft across the bonnet, but the lever to the instrument board operation is different in length. We also send N. sch. 2321. shewing the adaptation of the Phantom shutter, and starting carbur-etter, control to the 20HP. It is intended to discard the present mixture and starting carburetter control on the 20HP. instrument board, and, using the above Phantom pieces, arrange the mixture control on the steering column A drawing for the latter will follow immediately.
