| To Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X4038. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/AD13.3.30. X5250 X4038 18-GIV. RADIATOR. The radiator with tapered sides fitted to this car has been seen by Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} and condemned. We therefore require a radiator with a standard top fitted with a thermostat for this car. We should be pleased if you could get a scheme out as soon as possible. Hobson K.S. Telegauge. We have managed to get a tank unit which we think would give very excellent results with our filler and centrally vented tank. We know that R.{Sir Henry Royce} is against this but we are sending him this tank unit with a view to showing him the possibilities. We are sure that the centrally vented tank would be a great asset to us in getting a reliable distance reading petrol gauge. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
