Dept. (Handwritten initials): W.M. (Stamp): RECEIVED (Vertical text): X/088- Re Shuttered Bonnets. Kindly note Mr.Johnson is making enquiries with regard to the above, and we shall be glad if the Experimental Department will report whether or not the shuttered type of bonnet is as efficient as the louvred type with regard to engine cooling, & further whether they consider the shuttered bonnet more suitable in view of the fact that the shutters may be closed to suit varying temperature conditions. An early reply will oblige. Na.{Mr Nadin} (signature) This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers. | ||
