Dear Mr. Cliburn, I hope that by the time you receive this letter that you will have received the new Radiator. We have got the big Condor engine on test and we can do with you back at the works. With reference to the electric counter, one of these have been tested at Farnborough and they considered it excellent in every way. If you have any further trouble with the one there we will send you on another machine because we cannot understand why this should give any trouble. The only thing likely to wrong is for a commutator to become very dirty. When the machine has been tried with its present propeller now fitted, we want it to be tested with the special propeller you have there for Experimental G engine, you might, even if the radiator has not arrived, try that propeller on the engine and see what revs, it gives on the ground. What is the impression of the pilots, do | ||
