N/W. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. (114. Br1/W.14.5.38. re Oil Coolers - Phantom III. -------------------------- With reference to your Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.11/JH.12.5.38, invariably an oil cooler failure is discovered through very bad overheating which, of course, is shown by the thermometer, and as a rule engines become very noisy: investigation for cause of this then shows that the radiator is full of an oil emulsion. This was the case with regard to 3-BU-26 (Cook). Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} | ||
