ANY OBJECTIONS Water Thermometer We have looked into the question of moving the thermometer back to its original position at the front of the cylinder head and have succeeded in doing this by fitting the distributor tower at 90° to the position in which we had previously fitted it. The capillary now passes between two terminals instead of fouling one of them. We are taking a careful check of rate of fall of water level in the radiator, starting with it as full as possible. --------- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M.
