| R.B. 135A (100 T) (S H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 738. 19-12-20) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2947 ORIGINAL REC'D JUN TO Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} R1/M9.6.22. X3456 X766 In investigating the effects of overheating of the water, we want you to tell us whether loss of water by ordinary drainage such as would occur with a leaky radiator or gland would result in the water getting too hot, in which case we could put on to the thermostat or thermometer an alarm signal. By the above para. I mean that even in cold weather should the water become short, does the temperature then considerably rise on what is left, which could naturally be made to pass the thermostat by the circulating pump. We assume that when the water becomes short the flow is intermittent. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
