| X240. To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} NHC E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner}4/HP.1.5.33. Bensport Radiator Mounting. We send you herewith: LeC.3470 showing the radiator centrally mounted. The recent modifications we sent you on LeC.3454 still apply to the bottom tank. At the same time we have been able to clear up the small clearance between the starting handle and the bottom tank which was complained of on the last car. The bottom tank of the radiator has been lowered .1", which increases the depth of the matrix by an equal amount. The clearance is maintained between the tank and the brake levers by forming local pockets on the underside of the tank. Will you please get this tried as early as possible. A few days ago we instructed experimentally an alternative scheme in which the radiator was mounted on the engine. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} | ||
