To Na{Mr Nadin} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} " Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} for Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} 17/6/15 COPY. R10/IB16615. SC 768 June 16th.1915. Re Leaky Radiators. I have a copy of Mr. Johnson's note about the radiators at the front. As you know, the experiments with these have gone on very slowly, and I should be pleased if you will push forward any there are in hand. In the meantime, I would like to know what you consider would be the best radiator to send out to the front, as I presume the bulk of the cars which are there have the old type suspension. I think it is quite possible that it might be the best policy to alter this suspension as well as the radiator, and I have thought for some time that trunnions from stiff side plates, with small pedestals at the top of the frame, is about the most hopeful arrangement. If there is anything you can wire me about, please do so in the morning. R I am getting out an arrangement which I hope will be convenient for the existing older cars with the corner suspension. | ||
