| x7250 Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1/WT19.4.29. S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}...from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} S. S. Chassis. Loss of Engine Cooling Water. I notice from your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJLL/LG.17.4.29 that an excessive loss of engine cooling water is still being experienced during the 10,000 miles test runs with 22-EX. This is a feature which was strongly criticised in the early stages of these tests i.e. on the first 10,000 mile test. After over three months it is distressing to see the same trouble being reported. I was under the impression that a definite means of preventing this had been found. Please let me know position.
